The Hayemaker is a dangerous fellow who, when the bell rings, is on a seek and destroy mission, by any means necessary. No playing around. No comedy. It's just straight-up business.

The Klitschkos don't care about being great fighters, whereas I do. They may be big in Switzerland, but so are yodellers, and nobody wants to watch them fight.

Everybody wants me to finally close the curtain on the joke that is the Audley Harrison show.

I'm going to be a movie star, break Hollywood.

Money talks at the end of the day.

I want to have the same success in my acting career as I did in my boxing career.

It's always my plan to knock out my opponents.

That's what I actually like about boxing: no matter how well you do, you can still have a normal life.

Every boxer needs to be able to punch, but none more than me, and that's because I'm not that skilful, and I'm one of the smallest heavyweights you'll ever see.

I've had injuries before. They are just obstacles to overcome.

If I didn't have a great right hook, the bigger, heavier fighters would grind me down and smother me.

I've been in the ring with the Bronze Bomber, Deontay Wilder. I've tasted his power, and he's tasted mine.

Boxing fans are a very cynical bunch.

It's the warm-up in the changing room when I switch on. I don't even think about the fight until then. Some fighters are bouncing about the walls, but I switch off. Then it's like someone flicks a switch in me.

I've got a really canny knack for avoiding big punches or clean punches.

You can't hit someone if they're holding on to you.

When someone unloads on me, I keep my head moving; I don't freeze. I punch back with them. The occasion never gets to me. Not one bit. I enjoy it.

It's sad to see boxers sometimes when they've come from these massive highs with thousands of people screaming for them. They're the best at what they do - then, that's it: stopped, finished.

Once you share a ring with someone, go to war with someone... you have a different type of respect for someone.

I want to leave a legacy, but to do that, I need to be on my best game.

It's hard to judge somebody before or after a fight. Adrenaline is flowing, and you're hyped up.

There is no room for sentiment in a boxing ring.

If you ever need a good steak, Stringfellows is the place to go in London.

I would fight till I'm dead. This is why I am here. I am put on Earth to fight. I feel it deep in my waters.
