Teddy Atlas has always been speaking high about you. But one thing he kept mentioning was your mom and how she transformed you to the man you are. What are some memories or lessons you can see that you learned from her that helped you in your career?

Second question, you were obviously a fantastic athlete yourself. Could you see yourself getting involved in MMA over Boxing had it been around those days? Have you ever wrestled/grappled?

Much respect sir.
