It's hard to get up at 6am when you're wearing silk pyjamas.

If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it.

You know looking back on it now I used the fight and after the fight as motivation, to make sure I was going to be the best middleweight in the world for a long time.

When a man goes into the ring, he's going to war.

A champion shows who he is by what he does when he's tested. When a person gets up and says 'I can still do it', he's a champion. If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it.

There are a lot of things and in order to be at the top and maintain your focus you have to have something that motivates you. For me, it was what I perceived as a lack of respect from the boxing world as well as the media, which made me want to work so hard and be great.

Nothing can intimidate me. I just go out and destruct and destroy.
