You can't let a man like this beat you.

The one thing that's hurt in my career is people saying I don't want to come out of Manchester to fight people.

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.

I think my greatest achievement in boxing is my following.

He's won't push me back on the night and he certainly wasn't going to push me back up there.

Dad's tiny - his passport picture is a full-length shot. He looks like he just hopped off a key ring. Mum is a different matter, she's a bit of a handful to say the least. I love her more than anyone on this Earth. But she's a monster.

I'll go gentle on him, ... I promise not to rough him up too much. I just think him saying stuff like that is just him. He's like the Junior Witter of America, he hasn't got a good word to say about anyone expect himself. Personality wise, he's very different to me, that's for sure.
