A biography for Holly Holmhasn’t been written yet.
“There's a ton of nerves for every fight I've been in; it doesn't matter if it was my debut.”
“It doesn't matter what odds are on paper or what's happened before. It matters what happens that moment.”
“I think sometimes in life we rush and only later look back and say, 'Wow, that was something pretty cool that I did,' and we realize we should have been more aware while it was happening.”
“There's no single person on this planet that's worth more than the other. Know your worth. Be confident in yourself.”
“I'd see people being really successful, whether it was my teammates or big-name fighters like Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson, and I'd think, 'I want to be a legend like that.'”
“Aim high and don't sell yourself short. Know that you're capable. Understand that a lot of people battle with a lot of things - depression, body image or whatever else - so know that it's not just you. You're not alone.”
“I think you can get so mentally beat by kind of working yourself up too much.”
