“I've got a tidy chin and a decent punch. And, for people who think they can fight and are champions, I'll make it extremely hard.”
“I can fight, but that's the only thing I can do. When it comes to anything other than fighting or talking, I'm not very good.”

“There are 7 billion people in the world, but there's only one heavyweight champion of the world, and that's me.”
“Every time I stray away from the Lord's word, I find emptiness and darkness.”
“Training's training; boxing's boxing. Everyone does the same kind of stuff: they spar, they train, they do whatever they do to prepare for fights.”
“Growing up, I was brought up around Irish music, Irish traditions.”
“There's never been someone like me in history - a fighter like me only comes along every 1,000 years.”
“There have been many great fighters like Jake LaMotta, Roberto Duran, and Ricky Hatton. Hatton was a great inside fighter.”

“I don't need David Haye and his antics to earn money.”
“Let's make this clear: I do not hate anybody.”
“I will be dictated to by nobody. I'm the man. And if anyone can prove me wrong, their chance is inside a boxing ring. You don't like it, change the station.”
“My Lord and saviour Jesus Christ does not hate anybody.”
“I'm a gypsy: no education, no schooling, nothing. I don't care what people think of me. I don't care about being a hero, a role model, a champion.”
“There was a lot of politics going on, and Ireland were denied an Olympic gold medal in 2008.”
“I'm really excited about my future plans, as I'm doing things differently and currently training like a Trojan in pursuit of becoming heavyweight champion of the world.”
“I'm a fighting man, a fighting man with generations of fighting men before me in my family. That's all we do: we fight.”
