When people are tipsy, they're really encouraged and they wanna prove they can do something to the Heavyweight champion.

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.

Aggression means emotions. Emotions means you’re gonna get off your plan and that means you’ll lose the fight.

I would compare it to an actor. I drive myself into the character that later on is in the ring.

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

It was like a musician playing notes. Everything we trained worked.
