TNA.07Description
I represented Great Britain in the 2008 Olympics. I was very proud of that. I actually beat the American in the Olympic qualifiers, so he couldn't go to Olympics. I feel like Great Britain and America are like brother and sister. So, I'm not leaving the family. I'm still in the family; I'm just moving to a different house. That's the way I look at it.
When I first moved here, I just enjoyed the weather. And then, the "dream" hit me. There are things I can do here that I never could've done in England because here the dream is as big as you can imagine it. The American dream, for me, is opportunities. America is the land of opportunity, like they say. And I think I'm a perfect example of that, what I've done. I came here with my Olympic medal for boxing and I started a business, and now I employ more than 50 Americans. I've been on television shows, modeling, you name it. It's all so much opportunity that you don't get anywhere else.Collection
