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.

I got a bit down, depressed and fat, but I needed to be out of the game to realise I need boxing.

If I lose to DeLuca I will announce my retirement in the ring after.

Who knows how long I have got left. I could be like Bernard Hopkins.

Boxers put themselves on the line, they put their lives at risk, so it's up to the boxers to make sure they are healthy and sharp because we are giving the public what they want to see.

I'm a born and bred Sheffield man and I just want the city to do well with sport.

Dominic Ingle has seen me probably from 9 years old coming through. He was watching from the outside.

Since I was 9 years old, I've been training to be a champion.

I want bigger fights. Amir Khan doesn't want to listen to me. Why? It's getting boring.

I want to make a serious legacy.

Being able to adjust - to any fighter, no matter what pressure he can give me - I'm going to show I can do all that.

I'm going to show the world that I'm the best welterweight on the planet and I'm going to do it right before my people's eyes.

I'm going to get better and better. You never stop learning in this game.

It's a short-lived career and I think I am in my prime now. I'm 34-0 and I want to go to 35-0 in spectacular fashion, and then the world is my oyster.

Everyone in boxing knows that I am a big guy.

I'm more vicious in sparring when I am around 160 pounds or coming down from heavier than that.

I'm going to follow the greats and make history. The likes of Felix Trinidad, Sugar Ray Robinson, Sugar Ray Leonard, Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao have all moved through the weights to prove they are greats at all weights.

The fans pay our wages and I want to give back to the fans. I have been telling them for ages that I want big fights and they haven't believed me. They don't know the politics that go on behind the scenes through no fault of my own.
