I liked 'The Office' when it was on.

When it comes to the singing part, I think I missed the boat - the whole family can sing except for me. But they can't fight, so I suppose I've been a bit more successful than them there.

I don't want my career to peter out fighting meaningless fights; I want to go against the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world.

Spiders - hate 'em.

When I was 17, my mum made me work in a cake factory for three days - I hated it.

I pick my nose quite a bit.

I didn't like school at all. I was bullied and didn't have a good time. Boxing was my escapism, and the ring was where I felt best.

Boxing was my destiny.

I embraced every struggle because it made me the fighter I was.

I thank God that I had such an amazing father who was my trainer as well.

I'm somebody from a little tiny town, who had boxed in leisure centres, and my last fight was in Madison Square Garden against one of the greats. What a great way to finish off.

I find it quite sad to see the likes of Evander Holyfield carrying on past their sell-by date.

Having been a fighter for 25 years, I know how to handle the fear. The fear is there, but I use it to motivate me.

Before the Roy Jones fight, I knew I was going to retire because I couldn't train, my hands had gone, and the hunger had gone.

My career has been very difficult. People respect the fact that I haven't just turned professional like Amir Khan or Audley Harrison, and it's been, 'Here's a million pound' - for spoilt brats to fight a couple of fights.

I never really, really pushed my boys into boxing, but I guess it's in the blood.

We had nothing, no money, when I was young. We lived in a council house. My dad struggled; my mum struggled. But that made me what I am. If I had everything on a plate from the start, maybe I would not have been a champion for 11 years.

My natural weight is 13 st. 7 lb. That's what I walk around at.

Amateur boxing is one of the safest sports around.

If I'm greedy and keep chasing the money, it's inevitable I will be beaten one day.

I was told as a teenager I'd never box again. I had a really bad wrist injury; I couldn't even shadow box for six months. I went through surgery just to try and manage it.

Roy Jones is a difficult fight.

My mum is the opposite of my dad. She's a very private person, very shy and totally against boxing. She never watched any of my fights live. She hated me doing it.

I'm pretty excited: to be inducted into the Hall of Fame is a massive achievement... and to be inducted with Oscar de la Hoya and Felix Trinidad, two great fighters, is a massive honour for me and my family.
