I'm a Mancunian born and bred and I feel I'm no different to the man in the crowd and it's nice to reward them. I want to become a great champion.
I have no fear in moving up (in weight) and fighting.
As an amateur, I couldn't get many fights. No one would fight me when I was a schoolboy.
As long as I've got the love of the fans, that means everything to me.
If you want to watch two guys knock hell out of each other, watch us.
Winning the IBF title was the greatest night of my life. To give it up outside the ring is truly painful.
