'I needed money, so I worked as a janitor at the local boxing gym when I was 16 in the Bronx, New York. I trained to get in shape, and became the gym master of both jumping the skipping rope and hitting the speed ball, within just three or four months. I was asked if I wanted to spar and got taught a lesson by a powerhouse Puerto Rican boxer. I never wanted to feel humiliated and embarrassingly exhausted again, so took up sparring on a daily basis and got very good very soon.'
- Chris Eubank
