“I saw Bob Arum out in America, I saw him walking through the lobby in the MGM Grand. I basically went over and said: 'You're running out of opponents for Crawford and I'm the guy to beat him. I'm here.' I saw Terence Crawford, he said he was ready for it, so everybody is on the same page. Everyone wants to make the fight.”

“But I am a big welterweight so I can see why people think that I would look to move up the weights.”

“Being able to adjust - to any fighter, no matter what pressure he can give me - I'm going to show I can do all that.”

“I am going to go after the big names in America and the fights all the fans want.”

“I went to America and beat Shawn Porter, a guy that was being called a 'mini Mike Tyson' and that most people were saying was going to take over from Floyd Mayweather. I went to his backyard and ripped his title off him.”

“Two-time world champion - that's my goal.”

“I'm the Terminator and I'm back. I'm here to stay.”

“Boxers put themselves on the line, they put their lives at risk, so it's up to the boxers to make sure they are healthy and sharp because we are giving the public what they want to see.”

“Liam Smith hasn't got a belt, but I can get excited about that fight. If they pay me seven figures for the fight, I'll take that fight.”
