My views on piracy and illegal streaming are I think it's illegal for a reason, and I feel like there's a lot of people working hard behind the scenes to get the fights going and showing things on TV.

Know that the power comes from within: when you are tired, or you want to give up, dig deep. Dig deep for whatever reason - in boxing, in sport, in life.

There are good life skills to be had in the sport. It is a big positive to see young kids coming to the gym, training hard, looking up to the likes of David Tua, Shane Cameron, and possibly myself.

My dad loves boxing, so he used to hold up his hands when we were little kids, and we would punch his hands, and he slowly got us little gloves, and little punching bags that he'd always hold for us.

When you take a break from something you love doing, you just feel like it's time to get back into it; you feel like you've been missing out on something.

Having watched the Botha fight, I wanted to get him out of there, but I didn't really want to hurt him as bad.

I'm getting more confident in what I can do in the ring, and that just comes with hard work and training.

If I train hard and have a great training camp, and I'm as prepared as I can be, I can take any heavyweight in the world.

I've put my degree on hold, but I will finish it.
