Boxing is the embodiment of who I am, but beyond that, this is a journey of the self, and my obsession to get the most from this short life.

I am all for the short and merry life.

I still feel I am that 14-year-old kid, hungry and trying to find a way through life. That's what I'm trying to develop, trying to be good at something through boxing. But I feel like that young kid who's trying and trying.

Life is too short, and I need to eat. I am my meanest when I haven't had a meal.

Life is short and you've got to get the most out of it.

In boxing, it is about the obsession of getting the most from yourself: wanting to dominate the world like a hungry young lion.
