I have good hand speed.

I want to build a legacy.

I believe I overcame a lot.

I showed I'm an elite fighter.

My family's messed up, for real.

I work my angles and things like that.

It's not a game. You can't play boxing.

I want to keep getting better and better.

I believe, just in the ring, I'm explosive.

I am the cash cow in the 130-pound division.

I'm an overall sound fighter, a boxer-puncher.

We're tying to get Baltimore on the right track.

Just winning a belt, it doesn't mean anything to me.

There are a lot of belts I want to win, not just one.

I've seen the world and I've seen the bigger picture.

I want to show people that I can be a household name.

I believe Baltimore has been backing me for a long time.

I think people who go through a lot, they're aggressive.

I've learned to be a different fighter, more responsible.

A lot of fighters get frustrated when they're not active.

Each fight, I'm breaking records that are meant to be broken.

I always break people's noses with the uppercut, not the hook.

Having a belt is cool, but I'm trying to do more in the sport.

When I'm in the ring my main focus is just to get the job done.

It's the people that I see every day in Baltimore that motivate me.

I'm from a city where the tears never end and the pain never stops.

Thank you to all my fans. Keep supporting me, and I'll fight for you.

I want to be a superstar and bring joy and entertainment to the sport.

I feel comfortable at both weights. I feel I could fight at 130 or 135.

If an opportunity comes to knock out my opponent, I'm going to take it.

I know that Gamboa is a tough opponent and he'll lay it all on the line.

I've fought in London. I've fought in Los Angeles. I've fought in New York.

I'm just trying to stay grounded because I know what I want to do in the sport.

I've always made that push for me to be positive and stay forward with my goals.

I think the whole boxing world was sleeping on me. They were sleeping on me hard.

My coach... tells me not to focus on a knockout, and to follow the team game plan.

I'm preparing myself to be a great, great fighter and also a big star in the sport.

Floyd has showed me that he's set up with real estate, businesses, and investments.

Normally when I train, I'm all mad, thinking about all I've been through to push me.

I traveled when I was super young, so my mindset was never like a typical 8-year-old.

Outside the ring, I'm not a mean guy. I'm a likeable guy. I'm reachable, to my people.

There were a lot of distractions in Baltimore, and I think they were a problem for me.

It was always a goal of mine to bring a world title fight back to my city of Baltimore.

I want to be able to fight on pay-per-view against the big fighters and do big numbers.

In the amateurs we fought four or five times a week so we always had different opponents.

Me and my older brother were taken from my mother at the same time so we were pretty tight.

I was supposed to be in 'The Wire' but I was getting in trouble in school and on the streets.

I'm not really into researching my opponents or other fighters other than the ones that I like.

I hope Gamboa brings the best out of me so that people can see that I'm not just a power puncher.

I'm the cash cow, I believe, so at 135 or 130, I'm selling out arenas, putting butts in the seats.
