When I fight someone, I want to break his will. I want to take his manhood. I want to rip out his heart and show it to him.

I know why they don't like me because they want the money I have.

There's nothing to fear but fear itself. It's an illusion of fear. Fear is an illusion. If you gonna die, you gonna die anyway; it's not something to fear, fear is not gonna help.

I probably have a 20,000-word vocabulary. I'll match my wits with anyone on literature, science and the arts.

I felt the same fear in my first fight as I did in my last fight. It never goes away.

My main objective is to be professional but to kill him.

Lennox Lewis, I'm coming for you man. My style is impetuous. My defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want your heart. I want to eat his children. Praise be to Allah!
