You’'ve got to understand that everything has its time. I had wonderful years as a boxer, I achieved everything. I don’t miss anything.

The Tyson fight was like the hardest I ever trained for a fight in my entire career.

When I was fighting Tyrell Biggs, Tyson was telling me at ringside to hit him to the ribs. We always had a mutual respect for each other since we sparred those early times. We got that over with.

The fact is that Mike Tyson bit through my trousers and took a significant piece of flesh out of my thigh.

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.

People want to see me back in the ring. I think it is more of a drag lying around on the beach.

In boxing you create a strategy to beat each new opponent, it's just like chess.
