I personally hate to fight, but I love the science of boxing.

I'm six-foot-five. I'm not going to win the gold medal in figure skating. But I can try, and that's what matters. Trying.

Emotional pain is sometimes what we make of it. We can always choose how we react. No matter what the pain, breathing always centers me.

I feel like nothing is impossible.

I come from a boxing background. Three generations of boxers. I personally hate to fight, but I love the science of boxing. Mind, body. So for me, shadow boxing or hitting the heavy bag is something that gets me in a centered state. It's calming for me. To me, boxing isn't about the other person. It's about me. My inner struggles. It works for me.

Stripping away my ego and accepting my truth even if it's not who I want to see. Makes me want to be better when it's exposed. It's very vulnerable and exhilarating.

I can do anything I set my mind to if I believe and am realistic.

To me, boxing isn't about the other person. It's about me. My inner struggles. It works for me.
