He added, "I love my country and have this feeling towards the nation. If I get a chance to fight, it may not be in war but in ring I will give my 100 percent and fight till the end. Can't quit man. I will try to win the battle."

He also said, "They are coming to see me fight. The boxing scenario will change in a few years. I have no such dreams. I am more mature in the sport now. I just want to make boxing more popular in India. I urge Mumbaikars to come and see the Chinese beaten black and blue."
