I've found that taking shortcuts will get you to the place you don't want to be much quicker than they get u to the place u want to be.

The danger of a closed mind is that it can also leave good things like love, compassion and reason on its outside.

I was very aggressive as a child. At primary school in London my attitude was 'If you don't do what I say, I'll knowk you out', and I was eventually expelled for fighting.

The media can make boxers, controls who makes it big and who doesn’t. They can build up fighters or knock them down.

It's a very interesting fight [Klitchko vs Tyson Fury] because this is the first time [Wladimir] Klitschko is fighting someone as big as him and with longer arms. He will have to be a little bit more aggressive, otherwise the younger guy will have more speed and more energy and I think that may be the difference.

A boxer should quit at the top, as they say. But that’s complicated. There are plenty of people in boxing who make money out off you. And they tell you that you’ve still got it, that it’s still getting better.

If I don't feel the same hunger as I once did then I definitely shouldn't box any more.
