1. “If I should have a contract in my company name or in my personal name or what that means and the perspective of the HMRC. And this is where, for me, that was one of the biggest fights in boxing was I started so late and where I could generate an income from boxing happened within two and a half to three years, learning how to structure. Foundations, right? The foundations are some of the most important things, in my opinion. So I needed to really structure these foundations. That was the most challenging part of Boxing for me early on.”

2. “That's very, very challenging because when you turn professional, so I come and see you and we negotiate a contract, you can sell out 10 seats. So I'm going to pay you X amount of pounds every time you fight. And you think lovely, sign away three years over the course of 10 fights. You think perfect. Now the issue is that you turn away and you realize I haven't got a physio, I haven't got a nutritionist, I haven't got a psychologist, I've never learned about accountancy because now you're an independent business, like you're not on a payroll. So now you're handling your own affairs. I haven't got a legal team, so I don't even understand the importance of contracts and, you know.”

3. “In my opinion, I believe that the athlete is the leader and the coach is the one who gives him guidance. It's like the father figure, right, teaching his son how to ride a bike. I can guide the child, but he has to turn the pedals himself. And he can ride as fast as he wants, as confident as he wants. He can go over that little jump and jump off the curb if he wants. But as a father, I'm just going to make sure that I'm there to watch and guide him. And that's why I'm using the bike as a tool to navigate through my career. So yeah, I'm the one that's leading. I'm the one that's leading this destination. I know where I want to go.”

4. “You guys are interested. I feel how you become big is. Staying outside of your lane. Like, if I just speak to people inboxing, then I can only go as far as boxing. But when I'm speaking to people in politics, people in entertainment, into acting, it's like opening up new doors and new listeners.”
