I like to do things that are noncombat- or boxing-related. So I jump rope a lot, and then I run a lot.
If I have a jump rope and a resistance band, I can work out anywhere. Even without a jump rope. If you do 200 jumping jacks, then drop and do some crunches, and then do some squats, you're good.
I run, but boxing conditioning is different, so you have to get used to running in the ring. Boxing movements are very different. Swimming is one of the best because every single muscle is working. I swim a lot. I train very hard at things that mimic boxing. I have to do mostly sport-specific training, such as lots of sparring.
Catholic and Jew - it's very closely related, a lot of holidays, a lot of guilt, a lot of the same things going on.
I try and run for at least 15 minutes daily or jump rope.
I've always been, like a lot of people, driven by fear. Always focusing on the fire on the rope, as opposed to what the rope is coming from.
I am not someone who does a lot of exercise, so I attempt to maintain some sort of rhythm, and I think the jump rope is the funnest way. It's easy, you can do it in your room or anywhere.
Changing an opponent shouldn't be a problem. It sucks to spend a lot of time preparing for someone and then it changes up, but it's boxing. That happens in boxing and you have to accept that.
Boxing has always been work to me, a job. If I could say anything to a youngster taking up boxing it would be to "be smart and not take a lot of punches". It's called the sweet science for a reason. Hit and not be hit, make a lot of money without taking a lot of punishment. That's what it's about.
My brother and I like to swim. We've been doing that our whole lives. Swimming and jump rope are two of the main things we do.
I don't do isolation body building; I just do practical things that help me with the kind of things that are asked of me in action movies. You know, a lot of kick boxing, a lot of sparring.
I like boxing movies. One of the hardest things for me to watch as far as boxing films, is the boxing. The actual boxing usually sucks

I am a bit of a health nut. I really like to mix it up a lot. I do a lot of yoga, and I do a lot of Pilates, but I also like to run. That's kind of my meditation, I guess.
When I was a kid, we played a jump rope game called double Dutch - where you had to jump over two ropes swinging in opposite directions. Picking just the right moment to jump in was a practiced art form.
Every year, you hope that boxing can provide some of the best fights possible. I think 2018 was one of the better years for boxing. A lot of good matchups were made, and a lot of tickets were sold.
I felt like I've accomplished a lot in the boxing world that a lot of people don't give me credit for. But it's life. I don't trip over it.
