Different fights bring out different things. I consider myself a seasoned professional. I have done things in the gym that have not come out yet. People would be amazed if they saw me train.

People know I was the last true champion.

If the media didn't know I played chess, there'd be no angle on me at all.

I've worked hard and accomplished what I've accomplished in the heavyweight scene.

I play chess about four hours a day in training camp. You have to decide what move to use, or what combination of moves. I think less when I box because the reaction time is a lot quicker, but some people call me the chess boxer because they say I think too much in the ring. I take my time and they don't see the action they want. Some boxers just go in there and just throw punches and hope to win.

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

The mission I set out on in the beginning - to become heavyweight champion of the world, undisputed, lineal champion - you could say that mission is complete.
