“I’ve been boxing since I was 7 years old.”

Once I beat Gervonta Davis like I’ve been calling it, that’s going to be like history repeats itself with Sonny Liston and Muhammad Ali.

I want to leave my own legacy and write my own story.

I’m learning what triggers me. What to stay away from. What I do like and what I don’t like. To me, I’ve learned so much about myself that now I’m a stronger person. But I still deal with anxiety. Anxiety doesn’t go away.

I’m explosive.

I just learn from every legend that I’ve watched. I learned from the best.

One of the most important things for me is my family. You know, they keep me grounded, they keep me humble. They always made sacrifices with me.

I paid attention how to land a big shot, like Oscar De La Hoya with the left hook.

It doesn’t matter how much experience Jayson Velez has, whether he fought for a world title or not. I’m going to see how he fights, and I’ll know what to do.

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.

There’s always a chance you will see something new in a fight. Especially in boxing.

I don’t want to sound obnoxious, but I like to think I brought it another step. I was able to bring people who were casually interested in boxing together.

Boxing is changing and training methods are slowly being dragged into the 21st century.

And we have a new era in boxing!

The trouble with boxing is that too often it ends in sadness.

Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to go there right away.

That was a good fight back in the gym, he said. But i think you could benefit from a few more boxing lessons.

I wanted to start in boxing, but you have to train a little harder to be a boxer. A lot of those guys can take punches. MMA, you only have to hit someone so hard to knock them out.
