When I was a young boy, those 'Rocky' movies were my favorite, especially the wild and exciting endings. I loved those films; they inspired me to want to become a fighter.
Madison Square Garden is one of the best fighting venues in the world.
I've never been a bad guy - never acted like a tough guy.
I love and respect my sport, but I am not a bad guy. First, I am a sportsman.
For me, it's very hard to train too much, just sparring, sparring, sparring. It's boring.
Each fight has its own preparations and challenges.
