Boxing is a buzz, but I went into it to make a living. I wasn't going to go into the ring and get punched in the head for the fun of it.

The most important thing taught to my students is to not be so photo realist in what they depict.

I try and maintain a little bit of fitness, man.

I chose faces and figures as my subject matter simply due to the fact that the human form is already beautiful art.

Boxing's all about getting the job done as quickly as possible, whether it takes 10 or 15 or 20 rounds.

Mental illness can happen to anybody. You can be a dustman, a politician, a Tesco worker... anyone. It could be your dad, your brother or your aunt.

I still get invitations from all over Europe to speak at dinners, and it's an honour that promoters and charities can use me to create income.
