I've had a lot of good nights, and ideally, I don't want to be remembered for a bad night.

What I want to achieve in boxing is worldwide. I want to show I'm not just a British commodity... To do that, you have to fight the best and fight all over the world.

There is no room for sentiment in a boxing ring.

It's boxing. It's about getting people interested. If I didn't say some stupid things from time to time, there wouldn't be that many people interested in me. But I let my fists do the talking when the bell rings.

You need to stay hungry and not allow someone like John Ruiz to come over and mess you up in front of all your fans.

Maybe Tony Bellew is my Benn-Eubank.

I want to fight who the fans who want me to fight.

Money talks at the end of the day.

In 2000, I got stuck in the sea off Cyprus after I fell off a boat. I was out there for over an hour. I am not a strong swimmer, but adrenaline kicked in, and I swam back.

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.

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

I am not interested in fighting against 50 wimps like the Klitschkos do.

I would love to have gone there, fight at Madison Square Garden or a casino in Las Vegas, but there are no American heavyweights now who can pose a challenge to me.

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

Only time will tell whether the Klitschkos need me more than I need them. They won't believe that. But it depends what they want out of boxing. If they want guaranteed easy victories, then they can do what they've always done, but if they want a tough challenge, you'd think they would want to beat down my door.

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

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

If I hit the Klitschkos with the same shots I was hitting John Ruiz, both of them would go over.

A lot of people say, 'OK, I'm overweight, so I'm not going to eat any food; I'm only going to have an apple a day,' but then your body will go into starvation mode, so what you've got to do is increase your metabolism.

I've got no desire to fight Dereck Chisora inside the ring or outside the ring.
