I was born asthmatic so came into boxing with deficiencies.
All different religions have laws based on fear, the fear of going to hell.
I love boxing, but there's a business side. I don't like a lot of people in the sport.

I myself had a rough life and it's been a struggle but I believe my gift is the ability to connect with everyone.
I never said I was a Tyson, Bowe or Ali. I said I'm Shannon Briggs, the latest, not the 'greatest.'
I didn't take the fight with Michael Grant because the timing wasn't right. They offered me a lot of money, but it wasn't in my best interest to take that fight. They were trying to use me to build up Michael Grant.
Girls in Brownsville don't play.
