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

Obviously, in the buildup to some fights, there's animosity and testosterone and banter. But at the end of the day, we all understand that this is a business, just two men who are trying to further their careers and provide for their families.

I am an entertainer.

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.

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

There is a lot of pressure because of what my father achieved and everyone is expecting so much, but that gives me that extra drive in the gym every day to graft hard.

This is boxing. As fighters we know the risks, we know we are risking our health everytime you step into the ring, but it's a risk we are willing to take because we know with those risks come great reward.

Some fighters lose and their spirits are forever broken. A champion comes back stronger. If you're constantly dwelling on the past, 'I could have done that, I should have done this,' it doesn't help. You have to look at the situation intellectually and learn from it.

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

I got cut against Groves, and I couldn't see out of my eye most of the fight but it didn't hurt. Groves probably weighed 13 1/2 stone whereas I weighed 12. But he never buzzed me. It was just that cut, which looked so bad, with blood everywhere.

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.

The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.

Hard work and sacrifice can get you a long way.

You can scout people as much as you want. At the end of the day, it's a fight, so you got to be ready for almost anything.

If you play college sports, it's not like you have to - the next step in your career is another sport. You don't have to go into another sport. If you play college sports, you obviously graduated with a degree.

I was a business management major.

Wrestling has taken me on a ride and a love affair. I absolutely enjoy wrestling.

Anything can happen in a fight, and anything can happen in training.

Wrestling has done a lot for my life.

A lot of people in MMA do part-time jobs.

I don't go on social media.

If somebody has something negative to say, I'm a very - I won't say introverted, because I'm not introverted - I'm a very, just, calm person.

Money is not it for me. I love to travel and take care of my kids and be around my children.

I don't spoil myself on extravagant cars or spending money on jewelry. So I save a lot of the money I have.
