Normally, I would run with a group of guys in my camps. A couple of days before the fight, I would run by myself. That was my time to choreograph the fight in my head, so I needed to be myself.
I remember all the important fights. Vividly. In detail.
Boxing is a sport, but it's also entertainment. I wanted to transcend the sport and be considered just not as a fighter, or a champion, but someone very special.
When the trainer talks to the fighter, there's a connection. You don't always have to say much.
Boxing is the ultimate challenge. There's nothing that can compare to testing yourself the way you do every time you step in the ring.
They say that I'm stubborn, and my wife says that, too, but it's paid off so far.
