I don't ever think about, 'Aw, man, my legacy. My legacy this.' No, I just want to fight the best fights out there to fight just to prove to the world that I'm the best fighter in the world.
I pride myself on being unique in my own right. I wanted to be myself.
Where I come from we believe in an eye for an eye. That's what we do. That's just the way it is.
I don't want to keep talking about my upbringing because people always resort to the past and what happened when I was younger.
I was 4'11'' in the 9th grade. I was a little guy... I think I had that little man complex.
You think we got it bad in Omaha, or in any city in the United States, and then you go to a different country and you see how bad they got it. You give those people a balloon and they'll cherish it like you gave them a chunk of gold.
My name itself is huge in Omaha. That's not a target I need to focus on because we know we can sell out.
I'm so Omaha that I wear 'OMAHA' on my trunks.
I been making history for Omaha, Nebraska, since I started boxing professional, and it just keeps going and going and going.
