Whaddya know? I'm the first Mexican heavyweight champion of the world.
I'm willing to die in the ring.
A lot of people can relate to me.
Everyone who thinks I'm not Mexican simply because I was born in the United States is wrong.
I respect Muhammad Ali... He was the greatest, he was the best.
It's hard to criticise a fighter when you're not in the ring doing what we do.
I still respect Anthony Joshua and I'm a big fan of what he did in boxing.
I try to prove everybody wrong and those who underestimate me, that's why I train hard.
It's a natural blessing. Thanks to God. He gave me this ability of being chubby but still being fast and being able to hit hard.
If it wasn't for my dad, I wouldn't be here.
If I wanted to fight for the title, I would fight at around 240.
I don't want to just have 15 minutes of fame. I want it to last.
The physique will show in the punches.
First I tried karate but I didn't like it because it was boring. There was no action like you see in the movies.
I was a bad kid. I was a bad and good kid in and out of the boxing gym.
I want to show that it doesn't matter what people say about you or how you don't fit.
In my pro and amateur fights I've always mentioned Mexico.
People tell me that I've also changed their lives making history.
I was fighting men at age 10.
Boxing saved my life. There were a lot of gangs and I was hanging around with the wrong people.
I'm just a little-big kid with a dream.
I wanna be a legend, I wanna be in the world books of records.
I have been dreaming about the heavyweight title it seems since I was born.
Mom, I love you. I love you, and our lives are gonna change. We don't have to struggle no more.
All fighters put their lives on the line.
I love The Rock.
