A boxer must exercise and develop every part of his body.

A boxer's diet should be low in fat and high in proteins and sugar. Therefore you should eat plenty of lean meat, milk, leafy vegetables, and fresh fruit and ice cream for sugar.

My own ambition in the ring had always been skillful boxing, speed and defense - on the order of Mike Gibbons.

I have rules about eating, exercising and rules about staying positive. And these rules are sacred to me.

You don't work on something for six years and be blind to the myriad of other approaches.

I am a distance runner, a marathoner... literally and figuratively.
