I went to America and beat Shawn Porter, a guy that was being called a 'mini Mike Tyson' and that most people were saying was going to take over from Floyd Mayweather. I went to his backyard and ripped his title off him.

I'm just laid-back and cool.

Pressure makes me perform better.

Golovkin and Errol Spence are no dumplings, but even losing to those guys is hard to take.

Losing in my home town of Sheffield, it upset me really badly.

I could do welterweight. For the right fight, I'll do welterweight. It would have to be a meaningful fight. A world title fight, or a big meaningful fight.

Timing beats speed and I'm very strong at my weight.

The toughest time was lying in a Tenerife hospital with no-one speaking English, next to a window with the sun beating down and my leg tied up, thinking I would never box again or even walk again. It took every bit of shine off winning the world title.

I am going to go after the big names in America and the fights all the fans want.

I'm a world champion, I've beaten everyone I've been in with and I want to test myself.

There's a lot of politics in boxing and it's destroying the game.

I want the big money fights if I'm going to make 147 pounds.

I know I have a mandatory with Errol Spence. He's a very talented fighter but not really heard of in the U.K. or even America, but we all know he can fight.

2019, I'm coming for those big boys; I will go to welterweight.

The fans pay our wages and I want to give back to the fans. I have been telling them for ages that I want big fights and they haven't believed me. They don't know the politics that go on behind the scenes through no fault of my own.

I'm going to follow the greats and make history. The likes of Felix Trinidad, Sugar Ray Robinson, Sugar Ray Leonard, Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao have all moved through the weights to prove they are greats at all weights.

I'm more vicious in sparring when I am around 160 pounds or coming down from heavier than that.

Everyone in boxing knows that I am a big guy.

It's a short-lived career and I think I am in my prime now. I'm 34-0 and I want to go to 35-0 in spectacular fashion, and then the world is my oyster.

I'm going to get better and better. You never stop learning in this game.

I'm going to show the world that I'm the best welterweight on the planet and I'm going to do it right before my people's eyes.

Being able to adjust - to any fighter, no matter what pressure he can give me - I'm going to show I can do all that.

I want to make a serious legacy.

I want bigger fights. Amir Khan doesn't want to listen to me. Why? It's getting boring.
