But, like, there's levels to it.

People that could construct, like, these huge buildings, people are constructing, you know, a little table.

But there's also levels to building a table, right?

Some people make a better table than others.

Why is that?

That's cool in itself.

So I find that the fun part of my job is just like, damn, there's so much more.

Even when you think like, I'm a world champion, but I know there's just even more levels to it.

So I just love that part of it.

Do I regret it?

No, but I do think it would have helped me

if I went through that, you know, stuff earlier in life, I wouldn't have got into some stupid shit later on, you know what I mean?

Cause I would already had experienced a little bit of it, you know, it's kind of like a, it helped me get to where I was at, but then I didn't have experience with, uh, with things that came with, you know, money, fame, all those other things.

Exactly.

Exactly.

A hundred percent.

That's part of where I'm like, ah, maybe that could help me a little bit, but.

strange the sacrifices that you've got to make in order to get to where you want to be yeah like that yeah i mean everything in life the greatest thing that came uh in this world came through a sacrifice right i mean i believe in jesus so that to me shows that if you want anything in life it has to require sacrifice in some way i don't know you know for other people obviously it's different but for me it was my childhood it was um

It was many hours of training as a little kid, running nonstop, you know, having to go to a bunch of tournaments and just kind of just my whole life was just all boxing.

What was a typical week like for you as a kid?
