“In anything you do, if you don’t let your emotion take over you, you can make the better decisions.”

I want to become a movie director and win an Academy Award. That’s what I’m trying to do.

I’m looking to expand my brand everywhere. I want to be worldwide, I want to reach the world.

My mom is the Kris Jenner of boxing.

The Velez fight wasn’t my best.

I’m learning along the way, and there’s going to be some little bumps and bruises, but as long as I keep rolling with the punches, I will keep moving up.

I know I need a work ethic to match my talent.

My family and I grew up watching and admiring Oscar De La Hoya and to now be fighting under his promotional banner is a dream come true.

Whenever you get nervous about anything, start dancing. You’ll feel better.

People love positivity, and I think that’s what I show.

At the end of the day, you can have all the talent in the world. But if you don’t put in the work, nothing works. The engine doesn’t start going. It’s a car without gas.

I listen to Frank Sinatra before my fight a lot, and I also listen to Orisha music, so both of those, I need, it’s weird. It’s a weird combination.

I’m a go-getter. Everything I say I’m going to do, I don’t stop until I do it.

If people wanted to fight me in the garage, then bring them on, and I will fight them in the garage.

For a million-dollar cheque I would punch Jake Paul.

I don’t have friends outside of my family.

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