From 13 years old, I was treated like a professional.

My career has been very difficult. People respect the fact that I haven't just turned professional like Amir Khan or Audley Harrison, and it's been, 'Here's a million pound' - for spoilt brats to fight a couple of fights.

My first boxing memory is watching Marvin Hagler and Sugar Ray Leonard on television.

I find it quite sad to see the likes of Evander Holyfield carrying on past their sell-by date.

Management always has a big influence on your success, no matter how good or how bad the business is itself.

A lot of America's success is because we're an open society and haven't brought dogma or religious influence into the American political process.

In Manipur, mostly the top player's family background is very poor. I also come from a poor family, so we have to do more hard work to get money and a better life.

I'm a typical Delhi girl. Professional parents, nuclear family. My father was in the navy. I've spent my whole life in government accommodation, and it's been lovely.
