I will beat Carl Froch every night of the week and it doesn't matter if it is the best Carl Froch or the worst Carl Froch.

Wembley Arena has been a successful stomping ground in the past.

Rebrasse was a good opponent, a tough guy, he took an awful lot of punches. I knew it was going to be tough. I didn't want to run out of steam, I felt in great condition but you always have to be cautious against a guy who has never been stopped.

I want to knock people out.

Badou Jack is a great fighter, but there is a lot that he does that I do better. I have enough power to take him out.

There's a lot I can offer boxing.

I want to be considered one of the greatest fighters ever.

You decide whether you want to box on, or not. And for me of course, I wasn't going to be leaving the business until becoming a world champion, and defending it numerous times.

I'm an established fighter, not a fighter who needs steady progression.

I've been pretty good at negotiating.

Why do I manage myself? I don't trust anyone else to do it, to be honest.

I know enough about the business to look after myself now. I don't trust anyone else to take care of business.

In boxing you can be the most talented fighter out there but you need people to watch and I'm fortunate that I'm in that situation.

I never get nervous and I'm always very confident to the point where some people think I'm cocky.

I've always been able to stay calm in high-pressure situations.

I like to keep my normal life under wraps but in front of 80,000 people, I'm going to perform.

Ultimately, it's down to the individual. Some people are born to perform. Some people need to work hard to control themselves.

Once I've got that world title I'll never want to lose it. I'll fight tooth and nail to keep it.

On fight night I feel alive and full of tingles. You feel your blood flow hot but that's how we like it. We're mammals, we're warm-blooded creatures.

If I didn't want to fight Carl Froch then I wouldn't have invested so much time and money into appealing with the IBF over the dubious outcome of the first fight.

The lighter I am going into a fight, the more likely I am to get ill.

Any fight, if you prepare correctly and you're ready for it, you should be just there to enjoy it.

If I'm confident in my ability to do something, I never get nervous about it. If I was to get up and try to sing in front of 50,000 people, I'd fall to pieces. But boxing, I find it really comfortable.

I don't think anything affects my nerves.

When I become world champion, what do I need? I need opponents, I need someone to pick a venue, negotiate a date, and I need a promoter.

The more successful a promoter becomes, the more ruthless they've got to be.

My missus has had to put up with me boxing. I'll be able to spend some better time with them and not always have to put boxing first. So that's good for me. I'll enjoy that part of life.

Comedy is a passion but I don't know if I a am funny enough to make a living out of.

I never spoke out as a kid, I was never good at it as a kid, I was always too shy but I think I have a story and would like to be good at it and tell my story.

I've boxed on with cuts, broken jaws, everything.

I was never going to be one to just go away quietly and get on with things in the shadows.

A rivalry is me and James DeGale. That is ingrained in people now.

I love comedy and I did a few gigs here and there but it never really took off. It was too scary.

If you asked me to go on stage now, even to do karaoke, I'd fall apart. I'm far more comfortable getting stuck into a fight.

There are various psychological advantages you can take into boxing match. One is getting your opponent to fight with emotion and anger because he hates you.

Ego can be a dangerous thing. We all have one but it needs to be contained.

Carl Froch is a strong, seasoned world champion and there's no quit in him.

I've got a lovely family now, I've got two boys.

My missus has had to put up with me boxing for so long.

There's always talk about going out on top, unfortunately for me that means going out on a loss but it's going out at the highest level. I'm happily satisfied and it makes a lot of sense to me.

I got to world champion, No 1-rated fighter in the division and managed to earn from the defences.

I get paid to get hit in the head.

I know what I'm worth, and I know boxing.

I'm taking charge of my own business because I don't trust anyone else to do it.

Since I was 12 and didn't want to go training I have always worked hard not to waste my talent.

I don't want to have lunch with a sultan. I would rather watch Netflix.

I've been in a few fights where I keep drilling guys - Carl Froch, those sort of people - and they just keep coming.

What happened with Gutknecht does frequently cross my mind, but I can't do anything about my situation. I need to carry on boxing so that's what I've been doing.

I have always boxed better with a bit of nerves.

I think it is good when your blood is pumping, you are feeling lively, nice and warm, you are loose, you are awake, and your brain is switched on.
