“There are times I’ll be on the treadmill, where I’ll be running, and I’ll get cramp in my calf and I’ve still got 8 minutes to go, because I’ve set the timer for 40 minutes and I’m on 32 minutes. The cramp starts and I will run with one leg, literally limping, because if the treadmill can make me quit, what happens when I get into the ring with a guy who’s hit me, and I’m hurt? He’s going to make me quit too. It’s hugely important because it teaches you to believe that no matter how hard things get, you are the type of person that will find a way. It doesn’t matter if people are watching, or if nobody would know I quit. You can’t quit when no one is watching you don’t ever want to put that, that spirit inside yourself, you’ve got to keep those demons out. They are demons and if you let them in often enough, they will take over!”
