Motivational talks are something I have been asked to do and i fancy taking a crack at it.

In 2017, I boxed in front of a home crowd in Sheffield and became the WBA super-middleweight world champion. After four attempts I had finally fulfilled my childhood dream, and the experience was as great as I had always imagined it would be. It was without doubt the best moment of my career.

It's iconic, it's Wembley. When I go running up Primrose Hill you can see the arch. It's a great thing and it's a proud spot for London.

I don't want there to be a time where I'm 'too old' to box on, or where an injury retires me in or out of the ring.

I have always wanted to be European champion, because it is a fantastic title and so many great boxers have held the belt over the years.

If you're driving home and your kids are playing up in the back seat, I'm pretty sure that's taxing. You're trying to hold your composure, you're trying not to shout at them.

When friends started smoking at 16 or drinking at 18, I made myself not follow. No lads' holidays, all that stuff.

Brits love a road trip supporting a British fighter.

If you are very nervous, it is going to affect you and you start feeling tired or anxiety sets in.

I've definitely changed as a person because of professional boxing.

People have a right to express themselves.

I've earned some decent money, and bragging rights, and boxed on a Floyd Mayweather undercard in Vegas... but it's a fraction of what I set out to do.

I've never been the biggest boxing fan. If I know the guy I will watch him. But if it's two great fighters and I don't know either of them then I won't bother.

I am not going to box unfit, obviously.

Who wants to watch the WBSS final without me in it?

I used to hear other boxers talk about levels and it used to frustrate me. But now I understand: sometimes it doesn't matter how much you prepare, there are just people you can't beat.

I've won junior titles, ABA titles and boxed for England all over the world against future Olympic champions as an amateur - and then beat world-class fighters as a professional.

I am an old man and sometimes I struggle to keep up with some of the youngsters on the circuits. But at the same time, it is keeping me young.

I know what works for me.

I could walk away from boxing tomorrow, if I choose to.

The Eubanks are very different. If you look at the promotional videos they've done it's a bit 'Homes Under the Hammer.'

With Froch everyone was questioning me and I was trying to prove a point.

Chudinov is one of the toughest guys I fought. It was only the slump of his shoulders that made me think he's hurt because there's no grimace, or rolling eyes. He was never going down.

They are a funny little team, the Eubanks.

Boxing has been good to me and I believe I have been good for boxing.

I will beat Carl Froch every night of the week and it doesn't matter if it is the best Carl Froch or the worst Carl Froch.

Wembley Arena has been a successful stomping ground in the past.

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.

I want to knock people out.

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.

There's a lot I can offer boxing.

I want to be considered one of the greatest fighters ever.

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

I've been pretty good at negotiating.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

I don't think anything affects my nerves.

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.
