I'm a free agent. I haven't allowed any promoters to have exclusive options on my fight. I don't need a promoter.
Duran always disturbs me. The guy is just weird. Before our first fight, both Duran and his wife gave my wife the finger.
I'm a competitor and a very proud man. If a guy beats me once, he'll have to do it again to make me believe him.
Boxing is the ultimate challenge. There's nothing that can compare to testing yourself the way you do every time you step in the ring.
Boxing was not something I truly enjoyed. Like a lot of things in life, when you put the gloves on, it's better to give than to receive.

I've never believed in tying myself up in a long-range contract, and I've been very outspoken on that subject.
