God has blessed me with an unbelievable talent, with fast feet, fast hands, unbelievable defense and a very, very sharp mind. So I'm thankful for that.

Boxing's in my genes. I come from a fighting background. My dad and both my uncles were good boxers. I'm blessed with the art of war.

God only made one thing in this world that's perfect - and that's my boxing record.

When I was in the ring at the Olympics, it was my father's words that I was hearing, not the coaches'. 'I never listened to what the coaches said. I would call my father and he would give me advice from prison.

I come from a very rough background, and I'm saying that if you work hard and dedicate yourself that you can make it, too.

I know that there's a god because I was able to survive everything that I've been through - all of the tough times - and I'm still at the top of my game.
