Robert Easter Jr. is a tough fighter who I have to take very seriously and I do, and that's why we did a nine-week training camp and got the great sparring, got the right training, the right diet, everything.

Mikey Garcia

My father lost his leg in 1927 playing soccer. A kick broke his leg; gangrene set in. They sawed it off. So he didn't get what a lot of Irish immigrants got, which was a job on the Waterfront - he didn't get that.

Pete Hamill

If I train hard and have a great training camp, and I'm as prepared as I can be, I can take any heavyweight in the world.

Joseph Parker

As the fighter, you're the one getting in the ring, you're the one risking injuries, you're the one risking your life - not only on the day of the fight, but in training camp. You're getting punched, you're training, you're sparring. You have to make sure that it's worth the risk - the compensation, the terms, the fights that you want.

Mikey Garcia

Now I am training with sparring partners who are nice people, sure, but not my friends. These are sparring partners who want to knock me out in sparring. In the Croatian media, they said it was 'life and death' sparring - it was not quite life and death, but it was all-out fighting, very hard.

Mirko Cro Cop

Look at the attention the Godfather's getting! Kick my leg, J.R.; kick me in the leg!

Jerry Lawler

After I broke my leg I had to go back and do one of the remakes of 'The Magnificent Seven' and ended up on a horse that pitched me off and broke my leg again... I rode horses pretty well. I just didn't like doing it.

William Lucking

There are not many heavyweight fighters to come by, so having so many sparring partners is a big luxury a lot of other fighters don't have.

Alistair Overeem

Sparring is probably the best cardio, but strength training is the best way to prevent the kind of injuries that come from roadwork and sparring.

Mojo Rawley

For my training camp against George Groves my main sparring partner was a 6ft 7inch cruiserweight who fought nothing like George. It was just wrong. Wrong preparation. I was as fit as could be, but strategically I didn't prepare right.

Chris Eubank Jr.

The moment when I broke my leg, when I realized my leg was broken, I thought my career was over.

Anderson Silva

I think there needs to be modified penalties in training camp because there's severely modified compensation in training camp for all of us.

Aaron Rodgers

Each time I'm training and sparring, I'm always pushing myself to submit my training partners.

Demetrious Johnson

For me, it's very hard to train too much, just sparring, sparring, sparring. It's boring.

Gennady Golovkin

We all laughed. It was more like that whole thing that I was talking about earlier. You go to training camp and after the season is over, you might not see the guys for six months until you go back to training camp.

Bubba Smith

I go to practice every day. I really don't have a training camp. In the boxing world, and that's where that came from, almost every time a guy would get out of the ring and he wouldn't break a sweat again until he went to his next training camp. He would do absolutely nothing until he started training for the next fight.

Chael Sonnen
