I've always been motivated to be a champion since the age of 13 and I love being a winner.

I train the same way as I've always trained, even before I was champion. That's the difference, I train like a challenger.

When you know yourself that you've come through preparation injury free and you've done everything, you've done the work in the gym and the rounds of sparring, it fills you with confidence.

If I look at the fighters that are coming through, fighters like Carl Froch for instance, do I worry about fighters like that? Course not, I could eat them for breakfast.

I know Haye's a good fighter as well and he beat Mormeck but Mormeck is not Enzo Maccarinelli and does not have the speed, stamina or punching power.

That gut-wrenching feeling of defeat I can still feel today. Losing and God are the two things that I fear. I fear no man

No secret man. Just starvation, hunger and diet.

I keep my feet on the ground, keep dedicated, keep focused, underestimate nobody and obviously you need the ability, talent and everything else that goes with it.

I'm devastated with the injury but I've proved my heart and skill to everyone by fighting one handed for eight rounds.

I love the big fights. Obviously you can't fight just for the money but the money is nice.

The lacy fight was a career defining fight.

Do not let the words or actions of others make you doubt yourself.

When you express "purity" which is the truth about yourself, you feel a love for yourself that is expressed by self-respect, self-esteem, and self-confidence!

Houses are built brick-by-brick. HOMEs are built word-by-word. Houses don't build themselves. So YOU must build your home

Stalin's methods did not help.

My way of learning is to heave a wild and unpredictable monkey-wrench into the machinery.

You dont live on the Earth you want, you live on the Earth you have.

I think everybody has a secret life.

You just have to say, 'It’s pretty damn good. I am right here at the moment and I’m OK with it. I've got other things to think about.'

More and more people think of the critic as an indispensable middle man between writer and reader, and would no more read a book alone, if they could help it, than have a baby alone.

They're called Virgin Trains because they don't go all the way.
