I'm the world heavyweight champion. I consider myself a citizen of the whole world.

There's never been a great fight without the writers taking on and finding an identity for it. That's probably what has happened boxing.

Boxing is like jazz. The better it is, the less people appreciate it.

Changing your nature is the hardest thing to do. But I discovered that you can be who you choose to be.

Evil lurks where disappointment lodges.

The referee is going to be the most important person in the ring tonight besides the fighters.

Growing up poor, I didn't even have a lunch to take to school.
