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.

I don't think anything affects my nerves.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I've been pretty good at negotiating.

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

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 want to be considered one of the greatest fighters ever.

There's a lot I can offer boxing.

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.

I want to knock people out.

I want to knock people out.

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.
