I do not fight for free. But I was born to be a fighter.

I'm not God, but I am something similar.

Every time I stepped into the ring, somebody wanted to kill me.

Yes, it's true I once knocked out a horse. It was at a fiesta in my mother's home town of Guarare. Someone bet me a bottle of whiskey that I couldn't do it

Getting hit motivates me. It makes me punish the guy more. A fighter takes a punch, hits back with three punches.

I am not going to become crazy in the ring, because I am already crazy. And I am not going to die in the ring. I am going to die in bed as an old man.

I want to thank America. You opened your heart so I could enter. Thank you everybody who lives in the United States, who saw me grow into becoming a world champion.
