I am an entertainer.

I've been working a lot on my jab.

In the ring I'm a different animal.

Boxing is an entertainment business.

Anybody with belts, I'm coming from you.

When I'm fighting it's just search and destroy.

I want the hardest, toughest challenges out there for me.

There shouldn't be any true malice towards your opponent.

Anyone with a belt in my weight division I want to fight.

I won't look back and say 'I wish I could change things.'

I've had the hardest upbringing of any fighter in England.

Anyone can look big and strong and fast against weak opponents.

Fear isn't in my vocabulary in terms of how I approach a fight.

My dad is a showman, he likes to be in the centre of everything.

I'm going to take whatever route I can take to win a world title.

I don't see a holiday as a time to break from boxing - it never stops.

It's the referee's job. It's not for me to have to say I should ease up.

I want to be able to prove I can become the same or better than my father.

Some people say I'm arrogant or cocky but I'm a down to earth, decent guy.

Just because you are getting hurt doesn't mean you can't come back and win.

I was nervous my first fight, my heart was pumping at 1,000 beats per second.

So many fighters who fight Golovkin have lost before they've entered the ring.

I'm human. When you lose, of course you're going to be upset. It's a horrible feeling.

Technically, my fight with Korobov should have been for the full world title, not the interim.

Any fighter worth his salt wants to be the best and to be the best you have to fight the best.

The win over DeGale felt satisfying for several reasons as it proved what I've known all along.

Was there any danger I could have gone down a different path were it not for boxing? Of course.

It's the referee's job to stop the fight. I'm in there to win, defend myself, and further my career.

The corner is there to help you clean your cuts up and put your Vaseline on, not to throw in the towel.

Not having a trainer is basically just giving an edge to my opponent, and I'm not willing to do that anymore.

I was always hugely into sport before I started boxing. I played rugby, football, cricket, athletics, swimming.

I've seen the consequences of what can happen when you're unprepared for a fight, or not as prepared as your opponent.

This is no ordinary nine to five day job and I have a 24/7 in terms of my boxing and my career as a professional sportsman.

After a two-hour session in the gym, you can't then go out and be up for looking for trouble, you just want to eat and sleep.

When you are fighting a man who is over a stone heavier than you, you feel it. You feel it in the punches and in the clinches.

I went to Brighton College, Shoreham College for one year, then to Spring Valley High School in Las Vegas for a couple of years.

There's only a few people in the country who have as much experience on the boxing scene as my father, especially at world level.

Froch is like a train who just comes forward but Groves will move about, fake and feign and his good footwork is a big part of his game.

If a fighter suffers defeat, especially in a fight he feels he won, it will never leave his mind. He is always going to want to avenge that loss.

I've got royal blood coursing through my veins and if the boxing bug is 'something I've inherited through the family bloodline, I'm proud of my genes.

People who don't understand fighting think you need to hate somebody to beat them. But I keep hate and anger out of boxing, because it causes mistakes.

There was many who had some doubts over me regarding my position in this sport, but I've always believed in myself and that's the way it's always been.

I would like people to help me support the Chain of Hope which is a charity that is close to my heart who offer life save operations for children in need.

Any fighter who is serious about boxing wants to be in those big fights, fighting the best fighters, with the whole country watching and talking about it.

If you're throwing punches or exerting energy but you're not breathing, you're holding your breath. That actually saps your strength, it saps your stamina.

People ask me 'Are you copying your dad?' It is in my blood. I have got royal blood coursing through my veins. I can't help myself doing what my father did.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion about my father. Some people think he's a distraction and takes some of my shine away, but, for me, that's not the case.

I'm around my father all of the time, so the things that people see as distracting are things I've seen for years on a daily basis. It's second nature to me.

I've always been told that if you spar with another man, you try and emulate what a real fight is going to be like. So you go hard. It's how I've always been.

That's the ultimate goal for any fighter, to fight in those big casinos, on that strip in Las Vegas, Madison Square Garden, New York - all those iconic venues.
