When I'm training, I use heavier crepe for wraps, for protection - but you're not allowed to use them in competition. So when it comes to the fight, the wraps are softer.
I do a bit of boxing in the off-season to stay fit - it's a different kind of fitness.
Once or twice a week, I try to do some kind of boxing. I'm hitting the bags and jumping rope - all that stuff.
I think boxing is a fantastic sport.
I definitely was a big puncher early on in my career, and I used to load up with my left hand. Then, towards the end of my career, I had hand problems and needed injections in my hands for the pain.
Everyone has 4 ounce gloves on, and they're big boys, and they can throw hard.
I box every day when I'm in New York.
In the beginning of my all my camps, I do just boxing.
I've had boxing gloves on since before I could walk and been in gyms all of my life.
I'm a professional fighter and like most professional fighters I have had difficulties with my hands in the past.
I box every day. I have a gym built wherever I go, so I still got my gym. Every day, I try to get in there and work out the mitts.
We got four-ounce gloves here. It's not hard to knock someone out.
One thing you understand quickly as a fighter is that you're not punching with eight or 10 oz. Gloves. We've got 4 oz. gloves. It only takes one good shot for a fight to be over.
