“That’s one of my idols, I really look up to Pacquiao. This guy is everything I would want to be.”

I’ve been working on my defense and my inside game.

I want to test my will.

I have the following, I have the talent and I have the work ethic. I just want to be great and I feel like everyone is trying to control me.

I’m not afraid of failure.

The hardest part is just hearing people saying that I won’t amount to crap, and that I’m going to be a bust.

I’m ready to test my skills with the best fighters.

I know pretty much all my analytics and I take that into consideration when I’m posting.

I admire people who have fought for change: Martin Luther King Jr., Harriet Tubman, Abraham Lincoln. I’m dead serious when I say that – those are my heroes. I also like Ben Affleck.

Boxing is dangerous. Anything can happen, so you need supreme confidence. That’s why I represent myself like nobody can beat me, because I need to truly believe it.

You need the trash talk, and I’m an entertainer. I don’t care if I look positive or not.

I want to be the best so I am ready to do anything.

I wasn’t too excited about school, I’m not going to lie.

Some people are just naive to what they say.

I love to box, because I think boxing is an art.

I’m trying to involve the fans and bring in a crowd where not only do they love boxing but they love me as a person.

You can be a champion and you can be flashy with money and cars but you have a big platform. What are you trying to change?
