If he goes down, he is to get up, and continue to fight, until I finish the process.

In Soviet times the border was closed so we couldn't get out of the country, and I had been reading Robinson Crusoe. I wanted to see the ocean, I wanted to see boats, I wanted to see black people, because we didn't have that in the Soviet Union. I was all excited by that stuff.

I train six days a week for four to five hours a day. I like to keep the same schedule when I'm in camp for every fight.

I respect the IBF obligation to fight Povetkin, but I would like the exception to fight David Haye. That is the only title the Klitschkos don't have. We have them all except the WBA, which is why Haye is such an interesting cookie for me to eat.

Sometimes it's boring because it takes time, but it's enjoyable. So beating up people for a living is really fun.

My brother is a doctor and he will take care of post-traumatic stress. I think he'll do it for free.

Only younger brothers will understand me. We're following in the footsteps of older brothers. You are looking up to your brother. You want to do the same things. You want to do as good as he and do it even better.
