  • My team members are Hector Soto, who is a boxing promoter and Vice-president of Miguel Cotto Promotions. He runs all my business. He was the person that my father left in charge of it all. Bryan Perez is my right-hand man.

  • To be the first Puerto Rican to win a world title in four divisions would be an achievement. Gomez, Benitez, there have been a lot of good fighters from Puerto Rico before me. When I started boxing, Tito Trinidad was our big star.

  • Some of our best fighters are not only Puerto Rican greats but all-time greats of the sport. Carlos Ortiz, Wilfredo Gomez, Wilfredo Benitez and Felix 'Tito' Trinidad and many others have made Puerto Rican boxing what it is today, and I am only an extension of their greatness.

  • Everything happens at the time it needs to happen. I do not push destiny. Boxers take different paths in their career and those roads don't always come together.

  • I am a really quiet person. I just like to be with my children and my family and being home. I live one day at a time, enjoying the best of life, just living.

  • I train every day for 3 to 4 and a half hours.

  • Daniel Geale is the next chapter in my career. After I get through him, I can talk about what comes next.

  • I was like any other kid: very normal, I can say. I just was a simple kid that came from a humble family and was taught by my father to be a family man and be committed to them. I stepped into boxing following my older brothers.

  • Winning the first championship is a goal for any boxer, and it means a lot to reach it.

  • The harder I train every day on the track and in the gym, the more trust I gain in myself.

  • All boxers are different, and we all approach the fights in different ways.

  • After 14 years in boxing, the best decision I could have made was to take the last year off. My mind was not in boxing, but since I got here with Freddie, everything is working perfectly again. Boxing is all I know. Boxing is my life. Through boxing, I raised my family and I work to provide the best future for them. They are the reason I love boxing.

  • We as fighters always want to fight the best possible opponents and the best fights. We want the fans and media to be excited about the fights that we have. I now believe that this is a big fight and people want to see it, I'm not sure that was the case a few years back.
