I'm still hungry. I'm still striving... You have to understand: my mum has worked hard to look after her children, but we have always been poor; we have always been at rock bottom. I want to change my family history forever.

I love to fight, and I'm looking forward to being back in the ring, getting the victory, and moving on to challenge for the World Heavyweight title.

Throw me in deep enough, and I sink or swim. I don't care who I fight.

I've been written off. But I don't go about crying. Nothing is going to stop me. Not Chisora. We're marching on.

If you're mentally weak, it can destroy you. Some guys who look talented lose and never come back.

I'm 30. I'm about to hit my prime now. I need to act and keep building.

My career does not depend on AJ. He's got four of the belts, but if I'm mandatory for one or two of them and he doesn't fight me, they will strip him at some point.

I need to keep working hard, winning fights, and it will happen. I just hope that I don't get sidestepped for too long.

My career needs to progress. Time's ticking.

Apart from me, Tyson Fury, and Deontay Wilder, you can't sell out Wembley.

I'll fight Wladimir Klitschko and knock him out if he comes back; I'll definitely knock him out.

Under the lights, there's a lot of pressure, my first big show. The mental pressure drained me out a bit. I was fit and healthy, but I was thinking, 'Why am I tired?' There are so many things that go on in there.

lights me tired thinking

I need to know what I'm doing. I've got my own career. I'm not waiting.

doing know my-own waiting

People say they start from the bottom. If you want to see someone who's started from the bottom, go and look at my career. My first 10 fights, I think I paid for them myself. I've fought three times in one month.

myself look you people

Listen: I'm a fighter. I'm a brawler. I'm a boxer. But I'm a technician as well.

I'm in this game to give the fans proper fights, fights they will remember.
