"I want my name to be mentioned along with Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali. I don't want the word woman to be in front of champion. It's motivating, because it's something I have to keep earning. When I was a kid, all I did was train. I never went to a dance. I never had a date. I never went to a single party. Training was my whole life. If I say that I'm the best in the world, sometimes people think that's really cocky and arrogant, but I had to work hard to be able to believe in myself. In your teens, you become super-self conscious. I had to build that up."
