Yeah, like you say...

when you get over stuff like that, it makes you stronger, it makes you more determined.

We say to everyone, I say to everyone, when I retire from boxing, mate, I can write a book from as tall as me to the floor, mate, the amount of stories I've got, or I'm looking forward to maybe a documentary or something about my career and my life.

But lows, their career ending, like I say, I've said it many times, if people was in my shoes when I was going through the lows, they would have walked away from boxing, they would have watched it, but like I say,

the determination in me in my head like I've got to prove everyone wrong I've got to do it for myself I've got to show what I'm really made of that's what kept me driving they might have walked away from wanting to exist wanting to be a decent human being I just took it on the chin carried on coming and luckily I did because everything's starting to pay off now

No, I didn't.

I didn't seek no professional help because I just... Listen, if I... No, professional help is not something I look at.

The only person who could do it is myself, really.

Like you say, I can get all this help.

You can get all this help you want, but if you don't want to do it, you're not going to do it.

I can go see someone and then as soon as I leave that room, I'll go and self-destruct, do whatever I want.

Do you know what I mean?

At the end of the day, it's got to be down to you.

You've got to do it yourself and I've wanted to do it.

Do you know what I mean?

So slowly but surely, I've changed my habits, changed everything.

And like I say, I just want to fulfill, I want to make history.

I want to do this.

I want to provide for my kids.

I want to give them the best life possible.
