Adversity is something that makes reaching your goals so much more rewarding than if it didn't exist.

I wanted to prove I was the best fighter in the world.

People are still crying out for Lennox Lewis. They still want to see Lennox Lewis. That motivated me. I am still young. I have a couple fights left in me.

There were different heroes with different images. There was Mike Tyson, the animal, there was Evander Holyfield, the devout, the priest. And there was me, the thinker, the intellectual boxer. So there was something for every fan, if you like. The public could always identify with one of us.

I am going to have one Klitschko for breakfast and one Klitschko for lunch.

Boxing isn't just about brute strength; it's about skill and outwitting your opponent.

I am the heavyweight champion of the world, and the greatest heavyweight you have seen for a long while. With Tyson on the card, it is definitely an added bonus because Lewis-Tyson on the same card would be a great doubleheader. This is what the fans want to see.
