Athlete

I'm looking forward to the fighting with no headgear - I'm jealous. I kind of want to go back to the Olympics to experience no headgear.

When I went to college, I went to a junior college. I wanted to go to the University of Alabama but had to go to junior college first to get my GPA up. I did a half-year of junior college, then dropped out and had my daughter. College was always an opportunity to go back. But she, my daughter, was my support. I gave up everything for her.

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

You have to, as an individual, know how to tune that stage of your life that's in the past out.

I'm not playing around in 2016.

If Bronze Bomber got loose in the streets, it won't be something nice.

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.

You always pray for a healthy child, and in this situation, Naieya was born with Spina Bifida... We had choices on the table, and choices to terminate the pregnancy. We could have went on with our lives, and that would have been it, but we decided to take on the challenge.

When you have a fighter willing to do that, when he is seriously hurt and in pain but still fights, you've got a dangerous man on your hands.

Nothing has been given to Deontay Wilder. So with that being said, nothing is going to be taken from me. So I must stay focused. I must. I must. It is an absolute must to stay focused.

People can be too harsh, especially with social media. It brings a person down.

I'm ready for Joseph Parker. The question is, is he ready for me?

Everybody has their due season. And it's all about what you do in your season.

I don't have to build up strength; I have been blessed with it. I do lift weights and train hard, but I am a very special individual - a very special man with very special talent and very special power. I can get any man - any man - out of there in a matter of seconds. That is the thing I love about myself.

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

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.

My right hand is a monster.

There is no bigger fight than Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder.

I'm not going nowhere, no matter who I fight.

My goal is to unify the division. Whoever's got those belts, that's who I want.
