I'm fast for a heavyweight.

I watched a TV documentary about how animals are farmed, killed and prepared for us to eat. I saw all those cows and pigs and realized I couldn't be a part of it any more. It was horrible. I did some research to make sure I could still obtain enough protein to fight and, once satisfied that I could, I stopped. I'll never go back.

To be a successful boxer, the last thing you need to be doing is turning up to the gym stoned. You're going to get beaten up if you do that.

I've noticed since I've been out is Eddie Hearn and this fight gives me an opportunity to shut him up.

I'm too fast, too sexy and too talented to be blown away by a large, slow robot from the Ukraine.

In between training sessions, I'll often watch DVDs of King Kong, Godzilla or Frankenstein, just to keep my mind on the task in hand and remind myself of the magnitude of the challenge.

I'm not a big fan of being a victim. I don't like getting beaten up.
