One thing you can guarantee with the Travellers, they've got a lot of heart.

Put all your eggs in one basket. Then you're less likely to drop that basket.

You forget why you're fighting - you can lose sight of why you're doing it all.

I've got no desire to fight Dereck Chisora inside the ring or outside the ring.

The Klit brothers should first fight each other, and the winner should fight me.

I want to have the same success in my acting career as I did in my boxing career.

I definitely believe if you give me any part of your chin, you are going to sleep.

Fight fans just want to see the best against the best - if only it was that simple.

I'm good at keeping on top of my emotions and not letting them influence the fight.

I realised nothing was permanently broken, I needed to take control and make changes.

Whenever the Klitschkos pick opponents who punch back, things go pear-shaped for them.

I've had a lot of good nights, and ideally, I don't want to be remembered for a bad night.

He needs to be punished because the law hasn't punished him. He's never done any hard time.

There are a lot of fighters, when I fight them, they stay hit forever and never fight again.

Everybody wants me to finally close the curtain on the joke that is the Audley Harrison show.

It's hard to judge somebody before or after a fight. Adrenaline is flowing, and you're hyped up.

There are no shortcut to losing weight. Just hard work and dedication, hard work and dedication.

If I hit the Klitschkos with the same shots I was hitting John Ruiz, both of them would go over.

I'm too fast, too sexy and too talented to be blown away by a large, slow robot from the Ukraine.

I want to knock out both Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko, and I don't care what order they fall in.

I'm too fast, too sexy, and too talented to be blown away by a large, slow robot from the Ukraine.

My performance against Ruiz was a good one - there were plenty of knockdowns, excitement, and drama.

If I didn't have a great right hook, the bigger, heavier fighters would grind me down and smother me.

I've noticed since I've been out is Eddie Hearn and this fight gives me an opportunity to shut him up.

That's what I actually like about boxing: no matter how well you do, you can still have a normal life.

No one's going to hold your hand in the boxing business. And the people who do end up ripping you off.

I have always maintained you should be able to bench press and deadlift at least twice your body weight.

To me, being heavyweight world champion and Olympic sprint champion are the two greatest prizes in sport.

I've been in the ring with the Bronze Bomber, Deontay Wilder. I've tasted his power, and he's tasted mine.

I would fight till I'm dead. This is why I am here. I am put on Earth to fight. I feel it deep in my waters.

The boxing public aren't interested in knowing me. They want to know The Hayemaker, the one who gives it big.

Even on one leg, I thought I could knock Tony Bellew out. I was gutted when Shane McGuigan threw the towel in.

Once you share a ring with someone, go to war with someone... you have a different type of respect for someone.

He could've had Jesus, Buddha, he could have had every God in his corner, it wouldn't have helped him against me.

My depression was mild, and I could treat it by myself and pick myself up again. But some people aren't that lucky.

You need to stay hungry and not allow someone like John Ruiz to come over and mess you up in front of all your fans.

You're going to get violated in that ring. I am going to close the curtain on the joke that is the Audley Harrison show.

I normally get paid tens of millions of pounds to fight and I ended up fighting for free. I don't like fighting for free.

I seem to get the best out of myself when the pressure's on. My senses are heightened. I feel sharper. I do better things.

If you look after yourself, keep yourself healthy and have good sparring, there shouldn't be any issues regarding ring rust.

I don't know who he (Wladimir) was trying to impress in that homo-erotic video of his doing bicep-curls. It didn't impress me.

I was actually very fortunate. I think I was actually the only kid in my class at one stage that actually had a father in the home.

I always told everyone I'd be heavyweight champion of the world one day. They'd say, 'All right, whatever.' I said, 'OK, you'll see.'

I was born with a black eye. When they pulled me out with the forceps, they clamped them round my face, so I had a big bruise from that.

To be a successful boxer, the last thing you need to be doing is turning up to the gym stoned. You're going to get beaten up if you do that.

There are probably one million dudes in America called Kevin Johnson, and beating one of them doesn't make you an all-time great heavyweight.

When I first went to Fitzroy Lodge, I said I was going to be heavyweight champion of the world and retire when I was 30. This is when I was 10.

I've never been to Ukraine, but I have heard it's very dangerous for a black man. There are crazy racists who have already sent me death threats.

When someone unloads on me, I keep my head moving; I don't freeze. I punch back with them. The occasion never gets to me. Not one bit. I enjoy it.

When you're training you go to the gym when it's dark, you leave when it's dark. You push your body to the limit and it really gets on top of you.
