I started athletics in 1999, throwing discus and shot put. I didn't tell my family when I started boxing.

Like every other athlete, I always dreamt of playing at the Olympics, and it feels really good to see that dream materialize.

I miss my kids, and they miss me. It's very difficult, but I have to do it for my country and fulfill my dreams coming to the 2012 London Olympics.

Without boxing, I can't live. I love boxing.

I had no support, no opportunity, no sponsors backing me for most of my career.
