“For me, boxing isn’t about hurting each other. Boxing is entertainment and making people happy.”

I eat the same foods almost every day. I have my favorites like Filipino beef broth, chicken soup with lots and lots of rice.

I want to be the best fighter. I would like to fight in the biggest fights.

I’m always having fun in training and in boxing. I think it’s because boxing is my passion.

We have a job to do. After the fight, I’ll love him.

As for me, I always train for 12 rounds just in case. I don’t train for three, four, one, or 10 rounds – I have to train for 12 because you never know what will happen that night.

I was just doing my job in the ring and doing my best to make people happy.

You’re still my idol.

I want the people of the Philippines to be happy, even if they have nothing.

In the morning, I wake up at about 6 a.m. and I run for about 45 minutes, then more sprinting. Then I go back home, I eat and I sleep. When I wake up, I train – I do about three hours in the gym…

My concern is what fight we can give to the fans. My first concern as a boxer is to try hard and give a good fight for the fans.

I don’t have secrets in my life. Everything is out there.

No notes. You speak from deep in your heart. It’s easy.

I’ve already established my (political)machinery. It’s like a car. It’s fixed already. You just have to get in and drive it.

I could see he was having problems taking my punches. I had no problem taking his.

Life is meant to be a challenge, because challenges are what make you grow.

I did my best. I guess my best wasn’t good enough.

Promoters need you. You don’t need them. The boxer has the leverage, and a lot of boxers don’t know that.

My mom is the Kris Jenner of boxing.

I’m putting everything I have into my boxing career so I get everything out of it I possibly can.

I’m really into boxing. I go to a gym and I’m friends with a trainer who’s a pretty famous boxing trainer and I train with him.

I never fought, I never learned kung fu or boxing, I never went into these sportif competitions. I wouldn’t cross the ocean.

I am the biggest face of boxing right now.

The type of work I do is more like CrossFit, so I do track workouts, and I do boxing workouts.

Boxing is an all year round sport.
