It's hard to win people's minds over. The only way to change their minds is to perform.

There are plenty of massive fights out there for me, I know that, but the goals always going to become world champion.

Once I'm world Champion we can think about what fights are fun rather than fights that need to take place.

In any other sport an easier route to the final is your best route - but in this sport it isn't.

I've been over to Germany, it is nice to box.

If people want to say nasty things that's a good thing in a way because it means people will underestimate me come fight night.

I want to make my wife proud, I want to make my dad proud.

I don't care what people think anymore. I don't think I've got anything to prove.

My career before I was main event I was always trying to steal the show and I feel I have a style that can be endearing to the boxing public. It's a style that allows me to box how I want to box.

I didn't fool myself into thinking I was world class just because I'd beaten James DeGale.

You can't judge a fighter by their worst performance.

Sometimes when you're not getting what you want in this game you have to shout a bit and throw a bit of a tantrum.

Boxing's a funny business and sometimes different fights come along at different times.

That's the reality of boxing - it can be over in a flash.

I'm a realist and I'm not going to shy away from being knocked out.

It is an individual sport and you don't get many opportunities to overturn dodgy decisions.

I can play poker when I have to and I think it has made me a better fighter.

I know how to read a spreadsheet, I know what I'm worth so I can go into meetings and say, 'I get paid that much, thank you.'

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.

I have always boxed better with a bit of nerves.

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

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

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