At 14, 15, everyone at school stopped talking to me, and I went completely into my shell. Basically, I'd be hiding. I had no friends. I hated it.

On a personal level, I probably wouldn't want my boys to box professionally. But I do encourage them to get into boxing training - they both go along. It keeps them fit.

There were times people tried to get me to change trainers, but I stuck with my dad.

There is a world of difference between being a reality TV star and a world champion boxer.

When I boxed against Jeff Lacy, that was one fight that I was so proud of.

I don't seek the limelight. I'm perfectly happy with a quiet life and spending time with my family, but I deserve recognition.

I'm a regular guy, got the same friends. I live in the same area of south Wales. That's who I am. I'm just a normal guy. I just fight.

I thank God that I had such an amazing father who was my trainer as well.

I want to prove that I'm not just the best super middleweight in the world but the best pound-for-pound.

I appreciate what I've achieved, and nearly all of that is because of my dad. He pushed me to train harder than I would have done if he wasn't there to discipline me.
