I just want to show people that the best thing you could ever do for yourself is be yourself.

I get depressed pretty easily but have found the best way to combat it is to surround yourself with people you can talk openly with about it.

There's always going to be obstacles and people that doubt you. So it's about proving people wrong and bettering yourself and trying to be the best you.

Your circumstances can have an effect on you as a person. If you are nurtured and looked after by the right people, you can be the best version of yourself.

Often leaders have the best intentions, but people cannot read their minds. That's why it's important to declare yourself: Tell people why you choose to lead and the code you live by.

Some people who come from high levels in other backgrounds where they're used to being the best or used to being on a kind of pedestal, it's hard to kind of lower yourself again and just be one of the grunts. I kind of enjoyed that challenge in MMA.

So you have to force yourself out of a comfort zone and really try to figure out what are the key ingredients, the key skill sets, the key perspectives that are necessary, and then figure out a way to attract the very best people to fill those particular roles.

I think that every boxer should understand he's on the pedestal for a short span. It's best that you use boxing and don't let boxing use you. Use boxing to sell, because people are selling you through your boxing career, so you have to learn to sell yourself, and you'll never starve.
