I want to have the same success in my acting career as I did in my boxing career.

When I'm training, I use heavier crepe for wraps, for protection - but you're not allowed to use them in competition. So when it comes to the fight, the wraps are softer.

My performance against Ruiz was a good one - there were plenty of knockdowns, excitement, and drama.

Winning the title then losing it to John Ruiz... I'd be devastated.

I don't care about the money. Honestly. All I care about is winning football games.

I was born in Chicago, then I spent most of my youth in Joliet, Illinois which is about thirty minutes south, and I went to a military academy for high school in Wisconsin. Then I went to college, on a basketball scholarship to a small school in Iowa, so I'm like Mr. Midwest.

Sports have become increasingly more specialized, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be fun.

Being a celebrity you always get really good seats to sporting events but you never get as good seats as the photographers get. And I really love sports. So one of the scams I have going now is I want to learn sports photography so I can get better seats at a sporting event.
