2 | There is always space for improvement, no matter how long you've been in the business. |
3 | I think about making a comeback every single day. I went running, I went training, did that for a few days. But my body couldn't handle it. |
4 | You get to be famous or have some notoriety and there are so many people who want a piece of you. |
5 | Everything I have in this world, I owe to the sport of boxing, and I won't ever forget that. |
