I'm trying to keep the face of my opponent more or less not damaged but eventually to execute the plan and knock him out.

When you're successful for so many years, the scariest part is that you're getting too comfortable because you've had so much success.

The challenge for me is his size because, for the first time in my career, I'll be meeting an opponent who is taller than me and has a longer reach.

My height is an advantage, if I want to use it.

On your way to the top, you always get some chriticism. Criticism is a great motivation.

I don't like to get hit, who likes it? I probably wouldn't do this sport if I was getting hit that much.

After Chernobyl, thousands and thousands of people, if not millions, were given a death penalty and had to pay the price, our father among them.
