“I could drive from the age of nine. My dad had his car pitch at home, and we used to drive the cars around the land, take them up to the tap, wash them, and reverse them back.”
“Wilder is not a big draw in the U.S. He maybe sells 5,000 to 10,000 tickets when he's fighting in his own town for the heavyweight champion.”
“I just want to make money, get on with my life, and be involved in good fights. If I'm not going to be involved in good fights, then what's the point being a boxer?”
“Women have to be pure and respectful.”
“There are lots of people in the world who have money. Lots of people in Morecambe have money, let alone the world. And Morecambe is quite a small place.”
“Although there's been a fighter before me called Mike Tyson, I'm my own Tyson. I'm Tyson Fury. I ain't trying to be anybody else.”
“I've not been paid millions of pounds for any fights. I've not made any money out of boxing.”
“Sometimes emotions can win fights. Sometimes letting your feelings out in a fight can win you the fight. When it means the world to you, it's not just a sports contest - a boxing match for money or belts.”
“I'm not even scared of the devil. If the devil confronted me, I'd confront him as well.”
“My mum had 14 pregnancies - but only four of us survived. We had a little sister born for a few days and she died. There had to be a funeral.”
“My brother Shane and I used to spar with each other in the kitchen. We didn't have gloves, so we wrapped tea towels around our hands.”
“How many people have different opinions in this world? Every different person has a different opinion of what that bottle really is or what colour it is. If I say that bottle is clear, there will be someone out there telling me that bottle is green or blue.”
“I have lived in Ireland, visited all my life, and when I fight, I represent Ireland.”
“I'm a little bit backward. I didn't really go to school.”
“Everything I've set out to do, I've achieved, and all the praise goes to God.”
“Any man who puts a pair of gloves on deserves respect because lots wouldn't dream of it. To get in there and go one-on-one, you need your hand shaking afterwards. Many men wouldn't get involved.”
“I've been in crisis situations, I've been down, I've been hurt, I've been behind on the scorecards, and I've had to pull that shot out to knock somebody out. I've been in all kinds of situations and still come out on top.”
“I'm not homophobic, I'm not racist. I'm not against any people. All I have for people is love.”
“I already know what boxers do; I've been in it all my life. I know what they do, and I know how they prepare.”
