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.

Politics is still the No. 1 sport in town and the scoreboard shows the U.S. attorney's office leading.

I remember one time being told I could not play in a basketball game at the College of William and Mary because I was black, even though I was playing with a United States Army team.

We're all concerned about sports rights being so expensive. Obviously, we are funded by the licence fee payers, so it's not always easy to compete with those who can get greater revenue.

I was a big fan of amateur wrestling, and I loved it and dedicated my whole life to it for 20-something years, and it's not really a glory-getting sport.
