“Looking out the window and seeing the MGM and Floyd Mayweather takes me back to when I was a kid. Those were the places you'd hear about, the ones that staged big fights and top fighters. You always want to one day fight there yourself.”

“I haven't got years and years left so I want to compete against the best.”

“I'm accurate and I can land on anyone's chin.”

“I'm interested in any light-middleweight. If they've got a belt, even if they think they're the hardest in the division, I can beat all of them.”

“It's a beautiful sport, boxing, when you're winning and everything is going well but when you hit the lows it really upsets you.”

“I got a bit down, depressed and fat, but I needed to be out of the game to realise I need boxing.”

“I've had X-rays on both eyes, the bone has grown back and I have plates over each one, so I'm like a Terminator now and ready to walk through walls.”

“I know I've been out for a while and but I'm not going to talk about ring rust or use it as an excuse. That's nothing to me. Sugar Ray Leonard was out of the ring for years and he beat Hagler.”

“I'm not usually a drinker.”

“If someone said to me you can get five million quid, a world title, fight at Wembley with a fight that every fan wants to see, it's a no-brainer for me.”

“Listen, people that know me, know I've got a lion heart.”

“When I was drinking I was thinking I was having a good time but it came back twice as bad, the depression. It was just a vicious circle - drinking, not caring about myself - and it gave me a bad low.”

“In boxing, some fighters let the occasion get to them and they let their opponent get to them. With me, it's just another day at the office.”

“I wouldn't be boxing if I wasn't given the all-clear by the doctors, I wouldn't put my family or myself through that.”

“Small things make me smile.”

“I'd like a big fight in America, it would cap off my career in a great way.”

“People go on about weight. Mike Tyson wasn't the biggest heavyweight and he was an animal.”

“Timing beats speed and I'm very strong at my weight.”

“It's depression. You can't put it into words. You get stuck and time passes by. I'm stood there on the edge of a cliff, can't go back and can't go forward. Days go by. I'm still in the same place. Everyone else's life goes on, but you're stuck. You try and try and try and I don't know how, but you came out of it eventually.”

“I can't really explain how high the feeling was winning that world title in California with my family watching me.”
