(From a May 2002 gir Radio Interview with Abdullah the
Butcher):
Phantom: Do you see yourself ever retiring? Hanging up those boots
and putting away the fork?
Abdullah: I’ll never retire. It’s in my blood. That’s it. You can’t stop.
Phantom: It’s just in your blood?
Abdullah: That’s it. Number one, I don’t need nothing. The main
part is I like to step in the ring. I like to do what I do and I’m still
doing it. A lot of the fans come up to me and say, “We’ve been
watching you for a long time.” And they’re still coming out to see me.
