“I mean, he was extremely strict. I got away with nothing. If I messed up in school, if I didn’t do a chore, if I got into a fight with my brothers, there was physical punishment whether it was a belt, whether it was a cane, whether it was a slap. “Back then, in the 90s that was how you disciplined your kids. That is where my fear obviously originated from having to deal with that.
"But again, that type of punishment, that upbringing, that strictness, that made me who I am today. It prepared me for the brutality of the sport of boxing.”
