“I try to fix things between the Asian community and the English community. There are always going to be racial things there, not getting on with each other and stuff. I have tried to break that barrier.”
“You never know what will happen in the future - I would never say 'no' to getting into MMA.”
“I want to thank Kotelnik for letting me have a shot at the title. I'm so confident I'm going to beat him. He thinks that me moving up a weight, I won't be as strong, but I'm very strong. I'm a hard-hitting fighter.”
“I have a stake in a company called Super Fight League, which is an MMA company in India, and we have a lot of shows in Dubai, too.”
“The one thing about me is that I keep my personal life away from my sporting life. And, when I am training for a fight, that is my focus.”
“I'm an orthodox fighter, relaxed, fast, and powerful. And I've got good footwork.”
“I've won the world title - what I've dreamt of since the age of eight.”
“I know people didn't think I'd become a world champion - even people probably in my own camp, my own team, didn't think I'd become a world champion this quickly.”
“I don't want to get punched all my life.”
“I've always been a UFC fan, and I like McGregor and the way he promotes it.”
“Of course I will turn professional at some stage. Then I want to be a world champion and finish up a legend and be out of the sport by the time I am 27.”
“With me being a sportsman and being an icon who people know, if I can even send a little message across which will maybe help a lot of people, I'm going to do that.”
“Boxing changed my life twice.”
“I understand why my mum and my wife can't bear to watch me fight. There's a lot of blood, a lot of pain.”
“What happened to me against Prescott didn't make Prescott a better fighter than me.”
“If I get the fight against Mayweather, I have no doubt I can go and take it.”
“I've been working a lot on my lateral movement, and angles - it's coming natural to me now - and on different techniques, keeping my hands right.”
“People come into fights against me and say this and that, but when they realise how quick and how hard I hit, their game plan disappears.”
“It's dangerous to talk too much about future fights.”
“Floyd Mayweather has fought the biggest names throughout his career and has earned the right to face whoever he chooses.”
