All the champions - you go and ask Mike Tyson or Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Lennox Lewis and myself included, and I'm sorry for putting myself in line with all the other great names - but the champion's attitude is it doesn't matter who is in front of me, I am going to conquer this person and win the fight and knock the person out.

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

I prepare for my fights to well that I don't wanna give a chance to my opponent to crash my 'glass chin' as they say, so I'm knocking them in the way that I like.

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

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 first thing I learned in boxing is to not get hit. That's the art of boxing. Execute your opponent without getting hit. In sports school we were putting our hands behind our backs and having to defend ourselves with our shoulders, by rolling, by moving round the ring, moving out feet.

He's been an inspiration for me since the Olympics 1996.
