I think Kirk Johnson is a more exciting fighter than Chris Byrd. A lot of people agree with me when it comes to that.

There are still a lot of Mike Tyson fans out there, and a lot of disbelievers in the first fight, and they want to see us fight again. I am the emperor. If he wants to fight, I am here. If he does not, I understand.

During the past twenty-three years, I have set a number of goals for myself and I’m proud to say that these goals have been achieved.

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

Sometimes the image of the intellectual boxer did for me more harm than good. If a boxer has a reputation as an intellectual, some people no longer respect him as a fighter. With me it was always ‘Lennox should react, not think’. But that’s nonsense. Only the guy who controls his opponent wins.

I am just taking the top fights out there for me. People will get bored seeing me every day knock someone out.

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