I’ve lost count of the number of times people have exclaimed, “What about your nose!” and, “What if you mess up your face?” They’ve missed the point: I’m not a model, so what does it matter if my nose isn’t straight? And anyway, boxing means more to me than that: it’s my structure and my sanity.

What does the sentence in bold mean in the context?
