I own a business, and my wife was expecting our first child, and boxing out of Nashville is pretty hard anyway. And I just had a lot happening and my family takes priority, ... There weren't any great opportunities happening, and I was just focusing on my business and my family.

It's what I do. I own a boxing gym, I teach boxing lessons and I'm still young enough to fight, ... I haven't taken a lot of punishment in my career, so I figure I've still got some good fights left in me. After we relocated the gym, it sort of gave me a little new life and I decided to fight while I still had a few good years left.

Boxing is show-business with blood.

It is frustrating for Joe but these things happen in boxing.

Trading has been pretty steady so it looks as though it's been a good Boxing Day for retailers around New Zealand today.

Boxing is the toughest and loneliest sport in the world.
