Tony Bellew

“My dream is to fight at Goodison Park. Forget Wembley, or Vegas, I just want to fight at Goodison Park. It's been a dream ever since I was a child; no one's ever done it.”

“No matter what happens, I'll never be the greatest cruiserweight. That title belongs to Holyfield.”

“I used to be a light-heavyweight, and I'm much faster than cruiserweight. That's the reason I didn't struggle with David Haye's speed, and David Haye is much quicker than Oleksandr Usyk with one punch and much, much, more destructive with the way he hits.”

“I want to cause havoc. I want to cause mayhem - and I mean the worst mayhem you can see.”

“I've got a horrible bastard side. I get to let it go every time I go in the gym.”

“Especially with someone like me, my family know how much I push myself to the absolute limit.”

“What my family's been through I can't even put into words. We're very close.”

“Do I beat a fully fledged, fully fit Tyson Fury? Probably not. But do I beat a Tyson Fury that's been out of the ring for two years? Yes.”

“I've always said boxing will not retire me, I will retire from boxing, and I stand by that statement.”

“As a heavyweight, I've not missed dieting. Those days where you're sore or tired, it makes me feel happy to know I can eat a bar of chocolate.”

“I just want to be left alone.”

“I know what I am getting into with heavyweights. Not one of them can dictate against me because, firstly, they don't have feet fast enough. Secondly, while there are far better athletes and stronger fighters than me, even some who are quicker, they don't have the ring IQ I have. It allows me to dictate.”

“Normal athletes couldn't do what Premier League football players can do.”

“Boxing is all about timing. And if you take long periods of inactivity, you will be made to pay the price.”

“I just struggle with the fame thing and people thinking I'm something I'm not. I'll always struggle with that until the day I die, I think.”

“I've made some bad mistakes in life.”

“This World Boxing Super Series has been a breath of fresh air.”

“The one place in the world where I can feel like I'm completely in control, at home, is in a ring.”

“At age 68, I expect to be strapped to the couch with the remote control like Jim Royle.”

“I defy anyone in the world to trade with me.”
