Once I started to retire, I was telling all of the girls in my generation, 'Wow I feel like an outsider in this locker room because this whole new generation of women has stepped in,' and that was one of the signs where I said maybe it's time to retire.

Gail Kim

You cannot let something deter you from giving someone a rematch unless you are going to retire. If you are going to retire, go ahead, but if not, you need to do what you are going to do. You do not have to keep playing with the game of boxing. If you are going to fight, fight.

Evander Holyfield

I'm always training to fight the best fighters in the world, and if the UFC wants me to fight Georges St-Pierre, then I will fight him.

Anderson Silva

When I came to Afghanistan, I couldn't choose the training camp; al Qaeda and the Arabs ran the camps. I said, 'Hey, I want to help.' They said I could not until I had training. I said, 'OK, I'll take the training.'

Mohamedou Ould Slahi

After that, I came back every year. Everyone said, 'Well, when you retire you can move there.' But I said, 'Why should I live my whole life where I don't want to be.'

Terry Goodkind

When I first started boxing, I said that I'd fight in The Olympics, become world champion, and retire undefeated.

Demetrius Andrade

I dreamed I saw a mighty room, the room was filled with men. And the paper they were signing said they'd never fight again.

Pete Seeger

I went to Brazil to learn more about my body and my physique: what to do before training, during training, after training, even after the match.

Alexandre Pato

After I won my first amateur fight, I figured I would do fighting on the side while I was going to school. I got an offer after that amateur fight to take a professional fight. The opponent kind of wanted to have an easy win for her pro debt, and they said they'd pay me $1,500. I was like, 'Yeah, might as well get paid for what I was doing.'

Paige VanZant

Fourteen weeks before the Mendes fight I tore 80 per cent of my ACL [anterior cruciate ligament]. That is the main ligament for stability. Every day in that training camp when I was working my way back, I was saying "real champions fight through any adversity". That is why I am a real champion and he is not. Look at my eye [he had seven stitches put in an old wound after an injury in training the night before we met]. Fighters fight on. Aldo got scared, he went running and I worry he will run again.

Conor McGregor

I've always said boxing will not retire me, I will retire from boxing, and I stand by that statement.

Tony Bellew

People were fighting to try to train me. They saw a pot of gold, and they wanted to fight for it. But they seem too hungry. So I said if my father ain't training me, I ain't going to fight.

Danny Garcia

The biggest thing I learned is that when Dana says retire, you should retire. Otherwise, you will blow your knee out before your next fight.

Forrest Griffin

Who needs checks and balances when the left, seemingly, knows and can decide right from wrong? When the left can decide what can be said and what cannot be said? When the left can decide how much money you're allowed to make or whether or not you deserve health care? It is a quest for power. And, it is dangerous.

Trish Regan

I've always said I never want to wear another uniform. I've always said that I owe it to the fans to retire as a Packer. I feel like I can still play, but if I can't play for my organization, then I can't play for anyone else.
