There's no benefit, in my opinion, to exposing private relationships to the world. What benefits are there? If you go out and look at all these high-profile relationships, how many of them last?

I saw that from very early on, I experienced it with my mother and father. Their split was very public, and it was hard to watch, and it was embarrassing. Everybody knew that my parents were getting divorced, and I knew from that age that, whatever relationship I got into, I wasn't going to make it public. It's unnecessary.
Remember people thought I was gay at one point? Do you remember [former opponent] Liam Smith calling me gay?
It's not like I am hiding [my personal life], I just chose not to throw it out there.
I don't think so, I don't think having children has any effect on my career. If anything, they will make me fight harder, because I know now that I have two extra mouths to feed.
Boxing is a dangerous sport, and you want to be there for your kids as they grow. These types of fights that I am in, they take a bit out of you – they take a little bit of your life out of you. It's something to think about, but as of right now, I am in love with my life as a fighter, and I don't see it coming to an end any time soon.
It's not been easy. It's not an overnight thing. People might think, well, he came to the fight and now they're all lovey again. No, it's not that.
We are still working to try and get back to how things were many, many years ago when we didn't have these issues. But I'm confident that we'll get there eventually. He will be at my next fight though, supporting me, and that's very important to me.
