My first world title gave me the confidence to go and do bigger and better things.

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.

It's unbelievable really. For something that started off as a hobby, I ended up getting paid for doing it.

Both of us don't go backwards and I think that is the key to the fight. Whoever ends up going backwards is going to lose.

As long as I've got the love of the fans, that means everything to me.

My first world title gave me the confidence to go and do bigger and better things.
