A Quote by Rafael dos Anjos

I train to be the champion. — © Rafael dos Anjos
I train to be the champion.
I train the same way as I've always trained, even before I was champion. That's the difference, I train like a challenger.
Having been a world champion, I would love to go on and train a world champion too.
I have a saying 'train, don't strain.' The Americans have the saying 'no pain, no gain' and that's why they have no distance running champions. They get down to the track with a stopwatch and flog their guts out thinking that it'll make them a champion, but they'll never make a champion that way.
I ran like a champion. It is a great consolation to show how dominant I am. I am the Olympic champion and the world champion, but I want Justin Gatlin to be the champion of everything.
There's different kind of champions. There's the champion that becomes champion and they're not champion for long. And then you have the guy who becomes champion and he stays at the top for like a decade. And those fighters tend to be very intelligent.
Daniel Crawford, who was BAMMA featherweight champion, used to train with me.
Anyone can train to be a gladiator. What marks you out is having the mindset of a champion.
I am European Games champion now as well as Olympic champion, European champion, and world champion.
I do not like Andre Ward. I want to destroy this guy as a boxer, as a champion. For me he is not a champion, he's a fake champion.
My objective since I started my career was: become the champion, remain the champion, retire the champion.
To become a champion, you must first think like a champion, and the best way to think like a champion is start talking like a champion. So start talking today like the champion you could be, and your thoughts and actions will follow.
I should be the reigning champion. I punch a guy 300 times, he punches me a couple and they call him the champion? In what parallel universe does that make you the winner? I am the champion. I’ve been the champion. Anderson’s ribs have the exact same problem that his hands and his feet have, they’re attached to a cowardly person.
I was 16. In the middle of the night, I took a taxi to the Detroit train station - or maybe it was the Pontiac train station? - and got on a train to Chicago, then transferred to a train to San Diego where my boyfriend was living at the time.
I am a Brazilian, I represent Brazil, I train there and I'm going to be a champion for Brazil.
If I can be heavyweight champion of boxing, I have to try. That is why I want to train myself in professional boxing.
I really believe if I put my mind in the right place, if I train very hard, if I have good support by my side, I can be the champion again and stay there for a long time.
