At 32 years old, Penn’s plan now is to stay active and try to accomplish as many of the goals on his checklist as possible before his career comes to an end. There was a time when he thought he’d be fighting well into his forties, he said. Now he just wants to make the most of whatever time he has left.
“I guess in a little bit of a way, I feel my clock ticking. But I don’t feel it ticking like it’s going to be over real soon, but ticking like I want to accomplish a few more things. I want to fight. I want to be active. I want to make money. I want to get better and have more of these life experiences, and that’s it. I want to stay busy. I don’t want to sit on the shelf.”
