A lot of people were wondering how I'd perform against a big, tall, rugged fighter like Jeff Horn. I think I handled it with an A-plus.
Boxing is a dangerous, cruel sport. I love the sport, but I don't want to see my kids in the ring, potentially being hurt, with me not being able to do nothing to help them.
Whenever my kids have a tournament, or something going on, I make it a point to make sure I'm there for them every step of the way. That's real important to me.
As I got older I learned how to control my temper a little more. Boxing helped me a lot and most definitely when I had my first child it helped me tremendously.
When I got shot, it changed my life tremendously, and put me on the right path. And that's when everything started happening there for me with boxing and my family and just everything. My life just took a big turn and started going uphill.
Man. I've been through a lot as a kid. But at the same time that upbringing just made me stronger and made me more determined to make it out of where I made it out from and just fight extra hard to not go back.
I learned patience. I'm not a real patient guy, but with me trusting in my coach, my managers and my team, I just trust the process and just continue to stay patient and just follow suit.
