As a father I would not like my sons to be boxers, but my brother Rafael and I became boxers because my father was a boxer and he loved the sport so much, so if my sons want to be boxers I will support them in any way I can.
My kids rarely go to my fights but they do watch them on TV and they know that there is some risk involved in what I do and they know that cuts and bruises are part of the job.
Boxing was always about being the best that we could be and that?s just the way we were raised ? to be become the best ? and from the start of our career we always strive to be the best boxers possible.
