Tyson Fury

“I've sparred with lots of people and played around with everybody.”

“Goliath was a champion, a monster who had never been beaten, and then this young guy, David, came forward, a child who believed in God and did it.”

“I do like going to the movies, but I like eating tons of sweets and ice cream, so I can't go to the movies anymore.”

“Watching two men jib and jab for 12 rounds is not entertaining for me. I want action, knockouts, big shots, and people getting up off the canvas. That's my ideal fight.”

“Everything is possible through God, and I'm living proof of that.”

“I'm not a sexist. I believe if a man can to go work all his life, a woman can. Who am I to say, 'Don't do that because you're a girl?'”

“I just need to count the rounds and count me money afterwards.”

“I'm like the man who is always supposed to fight, but never ends up fighting. He just spends money.”

“If ever you want to get rid of somebody you don't want to talk to, just mention God. They're out of there.”

“I prefer to fight a bigger guy. I don't like fighting smaller guys; they give me problems with their agility.”

“Foolish people follow the system, get caught up in media news, what the government wants you to believe and all the higher powers want you to believe, and go down the same path as all the sheep in the cattle market.”

“I aim for the stars, and winning a world title will not be a fulfilment of a dream for me. It never has been.”

“I've had hundreds of challenges at Traveller gatherings. They get a few beers in them, and they start thinking they are Tyson or Ali: throwing punches, swearing, and jumping around with their big fat bellies. I'd love to knock a few of them out.”

“I have a nice house, nice cars, nice watches, nice things. I've got money in the bank. I'm not in need of a few quid - as it stands. It's all irrelevant to me.”

“I've said a lot of stuff in the past, but not with any intentions to hurt anybody. It's all a bit tongue-in-cheek.”

“I'd like to take a course in writing. I'm not the best writer in the world. I'd like to write more neatly, even though people don't send many handwritten letters these days.”

“I believe all woman look good in dresses; is that a crime?”

“As you know, I get a lot of abuse on Twitter. And while I'm abroad on training camp, I train three times a day, often for two hours a time, and I haven't got time to respond to all the people that ask questions.”

“They are the three venues I wanted to box in - I wasn't really interested in Las Vegas and all of them places. The three I always said was Croke Park, United, and Madison Square Garden.”

“At the end of the day, we're all brothers and sisters in God. What people do is none of my business.”
