“When you're in a fight camp, you're working your body harder than norm...” — Jimi Manuwa Quote

When you're in a fight camp, you're working your body harder than normal and it's important to still look after yourself and to relax.

I was introduced to money as a teenager, my friends had nice things. It came naturally to me to try and make money.

I'm a knockout specialist who comes to fight and who's exciting to watch.

I'm an explosive fighter so I've always got to have that strength, but you've got to mix it with endurance.

I don't think there's anyone who strikes like me in the world.

When I know that I trained real hard and I had a good training camp, that's when I'm very confident. But sometimes I don't train hard and I don't feel that confident.

I'm the type of guy that overtrains pretty damn quick, so three to four weeks into a training camp, I feel peaked out.

I knew from a young age that I wanted to perform. I went to an arts camp called Brookdale Arts Camp, in New Jersey, from the time I was 6, and then I was a counselor there through high school.

You try to make the most of each day. I'm not big into setting real specific goals. I think, really, if you just focus on every day - and I know that's the oldest cliche in the book, but it really is true. Day 1 of camp means just as much as Day 17 of camp. If you really try to focus on each and every one of those days, long-term.
