Small things make me smile.

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.

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 saw Bob Arum out in America, I saw him walking through the lobby in the MGM Grand. I basically went over and said: 'You're running out of opponents for Crawford and I'm the guy to beat him. I'm here.' I saw Terence Crawford, he said he was ready for it, so everybody is on the same page. Everyone wants to make the fight.

I've got all the attributes. I've got the sharpness. I've got everything you need to be a top fighter.

If I can't beat DeLuca, how can I say I want to fight the elite of the sport, rematch Errol Spence or fight Terence Crawford? There's no point and I don't have the right to call for world titles. No - I have to win.

I've gone from the top of the world to the bottom of the ocean.

I'm actually a mummy's boy.

This has been a dream of mine since I was a kid... I'm passionate about being a world champion, believe me.

Two-time world champion - that's my goal.

I know it's near the end and when it's over I want to be able to say to myself - not anyone else - that I've given it everything. At least in the last part of my career.

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.

Amir Khan is a very good fighter, but he has been knocked out a few times when he has stepped up.

I have realised I have been cheating myself and it is me who pays for it. So I am going to give myself the best opportunity to give my all. It's me who walks in my shoes.

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

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

I'm not usually a drinker.

Rabchenko is a dangerous guy, he's no mug and he can really bang.

People have seen I've got a big heart in there and I'm willing to fight with the biggest punchers.

There have been some dark times. But what I've realised is that I love this sport.

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 saw many people talk about how I would avoid Errol Spence. They don't know me, they don't know what I'm about.

I did speak to a counsellor after hitting rock bottom. It really did help, talking to somebody that didn't know me and just pouring my heart out to them in a few sessions.

I'm the Terminator and I'm back. I'm here to stay.

If I could have my dream fight, it would be an Errol Spence rematch.

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

I want to go down, like my hero Sugar Ray Robinson, in history.

If I get beaten I can walk away with my head high, knowing I have given everything.

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.

Bruce Lee was my inspiration when I was growing up and I used to watch 'Enter The Dragon.' No one could sit me still and I was non-stop hyperactive doing karate moves in the house.

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.

When you win everything is great but when you're losing nobody wants to know you - except for the people that really love you.

I'm the nicest kid. I'm not a big head.

I have a huge house surrounded by luxury but I've earned it.

My opponent DeLuca is a strong, gutsy fighter who is always ready for war.

I'm a young lion and I believe I can be one of the greats.

You need to be a complete fighter - the heart, the chin, the toughness. You've got to have it all.

I'm gutted, devastated that in front of my own fans I've lost my belt.

I will fight anyone, what the fans want, where the money is.

I'm after people that want to fight, who are the real people. The real fighting men, that's what I want to deal with.

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

Once I've got my legs under me and I'm fit and healthy, I'm a hard, hard man to beat.

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 believe in God, Almighty. I'm a Christian.

You can't work me hard enough in the gym, I just want more.

I know I've cut corners in every single fight I've had because I've used my ability to get through.

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.

Liam Smith hasn't got a belt, but I can get excited about that fight. If they pay me seven figures for the fight, I'll take that fight.

I have had some dark times, it was a frustrating 2019. I was pushing for the Terence Crawford fight but, through no fault of my own, I did not get any of the big fights I wanted.
