What is happening is not ideal. Sometimes nothing goes smoothly in the preparation for fights, and that is when you have to show what kind of champion you are and deal with whatever is put in front of you. This is just another obstacle, and if it does go to court then I will be as equally determined to overcome it.

If you can't sell tickets you'll struggle.

It's still one of the proudest moments in my career boxing at Madison Square Garden. Some fighters who have won titles and championships have never boxed at Madison Square Garden. For a little kid just off a council estate to do it was a dream come true.

What's the point being the best fighter on the planet if no likes you?

I think if you get the opportunity to try and become the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world and you turn your back on it, then you're a bit of a fraud.

I had to come to the United States to prove myself. I fought for a long time in England and a lot of people thought I was a protected fighter.

As an amateur, I couldn't get many fights. No one would fight me when I was a schoolboy.
