I was lucky enough, when I was younger, to have the chance to do as much as possible, and I found what I wanted to do. I did swimming, gymnastics, kickboxing and the one that took off more than the others was acting.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson
I've always boxed, I always taught boxing.
Adam Carolla
I'll get out and do Pilates. I'll get in the ring and do some rounds of kickboxing and grappling and MMA conditioning. There's a lot of unique stuff that I do, too, that a lot of people wouldn't imagine or think about doing, like box jumps. You get a 42-inch box and dumbbells and practice working on your explosion jumping up on those boxes.
Adrian Peterson
I love challenges, I love intensity, and I also like to challenge my mind. Believe it or not, boxing is not only about physical force. You use a lot of concentration; it's really mental.
Adriana Lima
I am trying to be better than anybody who ever laced up a pair of boxing gloves, and I think that pretty much sums up everything.
Adrien Broner
The sky is the limit for me, but in boxing you have to take it one fight at a time.
Boxing is all hard work. I don't care what level you're on.
What am I gonna do to be successful and provide for my family? I was like, I want to play basketball, I love basketball, but I'm too short. I'm not gonna cooperate in school... Boxing. I always found boxing, it always came back to boxing, boxing, boxing. Boxing, this is it, this is gonna be the thing gonna take me over the the top.
Boxing is boxing and business is business.
It means a lot to know I play a big part in boxing.
Maidana has to make me respect his power and his boxing skills.
I can take over boxing with a win over Pacquiao.
Boxing is a lonely sport.
Just because I get in trouble or into a situation outside of boxing, don't let that make your statement on my boxing.
I think a lot of the media and reporters, they let what I get into and my outside life interfere with my boxing life, and they let that cross, and that should never cross.
When it comes to boxing, I'm a four-time champion in four different weight classes. I did it at the age of 26. You can't down talk that.
I'm taking over boxing.
There's times when you're by yourself and you want your girl around or your kids around. You just need somebody around. And other times, boxing makes you feel like you want to be by yourself. You get emotional. That's why after some wins, I cry. Even in my losses, I cry. Because I know how hard I work, and I always want to be victorious.
Listen, you can't just come in to boxing and be a world champion. You've got to be born with it.
I am the person who is going to take over boxing after Floyd Mayweather.
I want to do things that no one has ever done inside the ring and outside the ring as a boxer and further my career in the entertainment business after I'm done with boxing.
My daughter, who is 7 years old - I have no idea where she learned this - she made a video where she's beat-boxing. We have no idea where the beat-boxing came from, but all of a sudden, there it was. Now we're launched into lyric sheets for every single song that is current. They're all over our house.
The boxing world is full of all kinds of corruption.
I've been doing a lot of different cross-training and kickboxing and Capoeira and kite surfing, and I've just really been back to what I consider my original athletic self.
As a 4-year-old, I saw two men competing in the ring, and I thought it was martial arts. I asked my parents if I could do martial arts. So, I was 5 or 6-years-old, and I was doing karate and jiu-jitsu. Later on, I started kickboxing. Then, it just progressed. I did a little bit of everything, but predominantly, I did kickboxing.
I want to be the Cassius Clay of snooker. Cassius is the greatest at boxing and that's what I mean to be at snooker.
See, I respect boxing because it has given me so much and that's why I will never allow anyone to mistreat the sport of boxing if I can help it.
Aside from a handful of guys boxing is missing the good trainers, that's why our sport is so in the air now because we don't have people who have the capability to not only train fighters but also train and create decent respectable citizens of the world.
I'd say the most memorable thing for me was my dedication and motivation in how I got so involved in boxing.
Later in July I'm going to be promoting and putting on a boxing show of amateur fighters from July 21st through the 28th where one hundred kids will be fighting and competing with each other to see who's going to be the best.
Boxing gave me the opportunities to grow into the person that I am today.
Surely, sport is not fundamentally about the safety of athletes. If it were, we'd probably have to ban professional football, right after boxing.
And I love kick boxing. It's a lot of fun. It gives you a lot of confidence when you can kick somebody in the head.
Boxing's a business, and I've got a great team around me who have been looking after me in that sense.
I've been boxing since I was eight, and that's a long time to take punches day after day.
There were no Asian lads boxing when I started.
It's got difficult for me to walk down the street without people stopping me to ask for an autograph or to talk to me about boxing.
Boxing changed my life twice.
Boxing is an addiction.
I love the British public and the British fans; they are true boxing fans. If you get them on your side, you can go right to the end and achieve anything in life.
You're always just one punch away from getting hurt. But look, if it's going to happen, it's going to happen. I think I'm going to walk out of this sport of boxing when I think it's the right time.
I want to retire from boxing by the time I am 25 or 26 and be a legend by that age.
People forget that boxing is the art of self-defence - ideally, hit and not be hit - and maybe we should all think about that a bit more.
Whose mother wants to see her son fight? It's very hard for her - but boxing is in my blood.
That's boxing - one punch can win a fight.
One thing for sure is that I am not going to attempt to knock Barrera out. My boxing ability and my speed are the attributes that will get me the win.
Boxing's not going to retire me; I'll retire from boxing. That's where most people make mistakes. They normally stay in the game a bit too long.
If I hadn't gone towards boxing, I might have been one of those kids getting into trouble. A lot of my friends did. They were clever kids at school, but they just went down the wrong path.
Even though you think boxing is a contact sport, it teaches you not to fight on the street, to behave. It gives you discipline and self-control.
We're prizefighters. That's what we become. Boxing has one of the biggest purses in sport. And in the sporting field, we probably make the most money.
