I knock people out. As soon as I land my shots on him, you will see the difference between class and hype. He's been built up and he believes the hype, but I will beat reality into him.

I don't believe you've seen the best of The Hayemaker yet. I want to leave on the top of the game. Recognised as the best heavyweight fighter on the planet, then I can hang the gloves back up in peace.

Put all your eggs in one basket. Then you're less likely to drop that basket.

I abstain from any kind of release for six weeks before a fight, no self-pleasure, nothing. Even in my dreams, I'll be about to have sex with a beautiful girl and I'll say, 'Sorry darling, I'm fighting in a few weeks.' That's control, bro, when you're turning down a hot chick in your subconscious.

If there was a new Chris Eubank coming through, it wouldn't happen, because Eddie would jump in front of them and make it about the Eddie Hearn show. Where's the Naseem Hamed of today? He doesn't allow them to flourish.
