It was always a goal of mine to bring a world title fight back to my city of Baltimore.

These guys from the past really motivate me, much respect to the guys before me and the ones after me.

It's the people that I see every day in Baltimore that motivate me.

If an opportunity comes to knock out my opponent, I'm going to take it.

You can't be a PPV star if you don't put on an exciting performance.

Luis Sanchez will definitely bring a challenge, and I know he will try to bring the fight to me.

We're tying to get Baltimore on the right track.

I believe Baltimore has been backing me for a long time.

Having a belt is cool, but I'm trying to do more in the sport.

I believe that the fighters know. It's just the people not actually fighting who need to understand more that we're putting our lives on the line.

It's not a game. You can't play boxing.

I always break people's noses with the uppercut, not the hook.

I think the whole boxing world was sleeping on me. They were sleeping on me hard.

Just winning a belt, it doesn't mean anything to me.

It really doesn't matter who I fight. It's about me putting on a good performance and just looking good overall that night.

I want to show people that I can be a household name.

Being a world champion again is just a step closer toward my goal. I want to be a pay-per-view star.

There were a lot of distractions in Baltimore, and I think they were a problem for me.

I've learned to be a different fighter, more responsible.

I just want to bring happiness back to Baltimore.

I've fought in London. I've fought in Los Angeles. I've fought in New York.

I want to build a legacy.

There was one point in time that I wasn't fighting, and I was frustrated and I was getting in trouble.

Where I came from, there's not a reason to have a lot of hope. So much trouble, everywhere. But every now and then, someone makes it out and makes it big, and that person has an impact on a lot of other people.
