At the end of the day, I really thought about this a couple years ago.

I'm like, what would I do if I stopped boxing?

I would still have to work.

I would still have to make money to pay my bills and pay all this and that.

So I thought, why would I try to go into another job when I could just maximize myself in my position in boxing, make sure I'm always training, make sure I'm at my best, and I can maximize my career for another 15 years.

You know what I mean?

I love boxing.

Every day is a blessing.

I wake up, I run, I train with my people.

You know, we're here at the gym.

We're having fun.

I beat people up.

You know what I mean?

I'm training.

I'm teaching my son how to box.

You know what I mean?

So...

my whole family and my next generation my kids coming up you know they're gonna definitely be in boxing so that's why i'm just trying to i'm just trying to prolong this for as long as i can you know i mean um even when i'm done retired boxing i'm gonna be in boxing in one way or another so for my career i think i have another 15 years left so what does that put me at uh

But now 44 is young because now you see boxers retiring at 50.

Exactly.
