A fight is mental, not just physical and psychological warfare is absolutely part of that.

I know I can hold two, maybe even three belts. So I have business to take care of back in and around my weight class.

I believe in believing. My coach John Kavanagh is a big atheist and he is always trying to persuade people to his way of thinking, and I think what a waste of energy. If people want to believe in this god, or that god, that's fine by me, believe away. But I think we can be our own gods. I believe in myself.

I believe in working harder and putting in the time - being completely obsessed. And, yeah, I think that's life.

One of the reasons I got into this game was because I wanted to learn how to get myself comfortable in uncomfortable situations. I grew up in a tough area of Dublin, and fighting was just part of your life. Boys fight, and I won some, but I lost a lot too, and I didn't like that, I didn't like that feeling of not knowing whether I was in danger, in trouble.

You can take on the world in a good suit.
