Tuscaloosa, Alabama - I love you.

We knew Stiverne was tough. You've got to give it to him. He's got a tough chin.

This is no game. You get up in there, and you take some punches. You risk your life, and then let me see you talk then. That's why I don't respect people who criticize fighters.

Fury made a name for himself in America, and as a fighter, you have to establish yourself there, first and foremost, to be known worldwide.

If I have to go through Fury after my Povetkin fight - and I never look past my next fight; I am not that foolish - to get those belts, I would love to fight him next.

At the end of the day, I am going for all the belts, so I am going to have to go through all of them. And I would live to fight the U.K. guys - even in the U.K.

When they throw punches, the breathing, the sparring. The heavy bags being hit. All of that - it was a heavenly sound to me.

The craziest thing about it, I used to hate fighting, but you had to show how tough you was; you had to show you wasn't no punk.

I will be that guy to change this sport, especially in the heavyweight division. A lot of people have lost interest. I'm the right man for the job... I want to make it bigger and better than it ever have been before.

I don't play boxing.

It don't matter if I got a broke hand, got a torn muscle: I'm going to fight like heavyweight champions do.

Of course I want the Furys, of course I want the Joshuas, but the question is, do they want me?

I'm one of the baddest, hardest-hitting heavyweights in the business. Right here from Alabama, baby.

Against Bermane Stiverne, they said he was going to be the toughest test, but I passed that with flying colours.

I am going to get world-wide recognition from whoever wants it, and whoever wants to challenge me.

I am very comfortable travelling and going into other territories.

I have so many things that I want to do with my life. I just don't see myself being a fighter forever. Boxing is my love and passion. It also opens up and sets up other things in my life as well.

I want to defend and put my title on the line as much as possible. If the top in the division are ready to try to come and take my belt - and the key word is 'try' - I'm ready to give them that opportunity.

I don't see myself being in the sport a very long period of time, so I want to fight as much as possible.

I'm definitely an active champion. I'm looking forward to defending my belt as many times as possible.

I decided to do something I've been wanting to do for a long time - go get a chef and a nutritionist - and I brought them on board.

There's no other heavyweight in the division like me, especially when it comes into the athletic department. I'm the most athletic heavyweight in the division.

I could put everything I got in the bank on my abilities and skill and will, and what I'm capable of doing in the ring.

I can be a tennis player, a golf player, and even a soccer player.
