My training diet can be quite strict when I'm coming up to competition; it's a weight-making sport, of course. But I eat quite healthily anyway, and it's less strict when out of competition.

I'd like to thank everyone for all their support and prayers. I'm so humbled by that.

There's not a lot of positive role models of women in newspapers and magazines. I think it puts pressure on girls. They think that the image put out, it's the way you have to look.

I want to tell girls, it's not about make-up and how you look that's important; you are so much more than how you look.

I've had losses in my career before, and I've always come back stronger from those losses.

I have a lot of confidence in myself, and I love that challenge as well. I love going to every competition as the favourite. It's something I relish.

I want to go down in the history books as one of the greatest female boxers of all time, and I think I'm on the right path.

I'm in a privileged position, but I still feel like the best is yet to come, and people still haven't seen the best of me yet, and that is so exciting for me.

People say, 'You will be 30 years old; you're too old. You'll get your nose broke,' say dad's a pushy dad. You hear stupid things and put them out of your mind.

It's great to be boxing a local boxer. The atmosphere is always fantastic. I love those fights. I really relish those fights.

God is my psychologist. And my dad is probably the best sport psychologist in the world.

It's so true: the fight is won or lost in the gym, and those words really stuck with me throughout my career.

I'm in the public eye. I'm recognised a small bit more. That's part and parcel of it.

Boxing was just another one to keep me going as a child.

I know exactly what that's all about being in a male dominated sport. Sometimes it just takes one person to step out, to be a pioneer, a trailblazer, really.

I never think about losing. That's why it's so hard to accept a loss.

I'd love to have a chance to fight in the World Series Boxing for women, but nothing has been done about that.

With amateur boxing, you're just entered into a competition. And to be the best, you've got to beat the best. You're not waiting around to get these fights organised.

It's ridiculous having the pros in an amateur sport, but at the same time, there's a lot of pros who are going to struggle over three rounds.

I've boxed many people in their own backyard plenty of times - in China, I boxed a Chinese girl in the final of the world championships, and I've boxed Russians before in their home nation as well.
