Age first started boxing: 14
First boxing memory: I had a dream about punching a bag. I didn’t even know what boxing was, really. Then I learned about Mike Tyson and saw one of his fights.
Inspiration: Tyson – he was the fighter that first made me learn all about the sport, and I wanted to be like him.
Motivation: I motivate myself. I want to be a world champion and the very best in my weight class.
Favourite all-time fighter: Muhammad Ali. He was The Greatest. No-one else was ever like him.
Best fight you’ve seen: The first between Diego Corrales and Jose Luis Castillo.
Pre-fight meal: Pasta.
What do you do to relax: I play dominoes or read my bible.
Pre-fight superstitions: I am a Christian and do not believe in superstitions.
Training in between fights: I stay in shape by running and hitting the punching bags.
Typical breakfast: I’m not big into breakfast. Maybe some fruit.
Toughest part of being a boxer: Definitely making weight.
Last book you read: My bible.
Favourite film: All Wesley Snipes movies.
What car do you drive: I don’t have a car of my own, so I drive my friends’ cars.
Where do you train: School of Sports gym, Carolina, Puerto Rico.
Typical training routine: Wake up before sunrise, run for one hour. Rest until early afternoon, then do 12 or more rounds in the gym – sparring, punching the bags, jumping rope, or shadowboxing.
Toughest opponent faced: Howard Eastman. I have a lot of respect for Howard, because he came to the US to fight me, and he never ran from me in the fight.
Supplements: None.
What would you be doing if not a boxer: I do not know. Boxing saved me, and I honestly feel it is my destiny to become world champion.
Last place you went on holiday: Colombia.
Best boxer in the world today: Floyd Mayweather Jnr. My trainer disagrees with me, and says Manny Pacquiao.
Favourite football team: For soccer, it’s Brazil. For American football, Dallas Cowboys.
ENJOY!
