I'm a bad guy. But if I was a good guy, nobody would want to pay to see me fight.

People look at me as some bruiser, but I want to entertain people. I want people to applaud. I want to be the cause of people being happy, their emotions changing, to tell me I did a good performance.

Sometimes they laugh at things I don't think are funny, but I believe if they're laughing at me, it's a good show.

I did my time for the rape. I paid my money to Las Vegas. I paid my dues.

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!

When you see me smash somebody's skull, you enjoy it.

Ten years ago, if you asked me where I'd be now, I'd have said F-ing dead. But I'm not dead. I have an awesome life. And I'm just very grateful. That's the one thing I try to convey. Gratitude.
