“I have lived in Ireland, visited all my life, and when I fight, I represent Ireland.”

I aim for the stars, and winning a world title will not be a fulfilment of a dream for me. It never has been.

There’s never been someone like me in history – a fighter like me only comes along every 1,000 years.

I don’t hate old men but listen when being spoken to.

I’ve said a lot of stuff in the past, but not with any intentions to hurt anybody. It’s all a bit tongue-in-cheek.

As a fan, I like watching fighters rather than boxers.

I think I need a psychiatrist because I do believe I am mentally disturbed in some way.

I’ve sparred with lots of people and played around with everybody.

What personality does it take to drive a car around a track 100 times or hit a ball back and forth. That’s not very personality is it?

Although there’s been a fighter before me called Mike Tyson, I’m my own Tyson. I’m Tyson Fury. I ain’t trying to be anybody else.

I have a nice house, nice cars, nice watches, nice things. I’ve got money in the bank. I’m not in need of a few quid – as it stands. It’s all irrelevant to me.

As you know, I get a lot of abuse on Twitter. And while I’m abroad on training camp, I train three times a day, often for two hours a time, and I haven’t got time to respond to all the people that ask questions.

I’m looking forward to fighting Chisora, getting him out of the way, and then fighting Klitschko for all the belts, but I don’t think Wladimir is going to take the fight.

There are 7 billion people in the world, but there’s only one heavyweight champion of the world, and that’s me.

I already know what boxers do; I’ve been in it all my life. I know what they do, and I know how they prepare.

I’ve not been paid millions of pounds for any fights. I’ve not made any money out of boxing.

I’m a unique fighter – one of a kind.

When you are wronged repeatedly, the worst thing you can do is continue taking it – fight back!

If you don’t fight for what you want, don’t cry for what you lost

The fight is won or lost far away from the witnesses, behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road; long before I dance under those lights.

The spot where we intend to fight must not be made known; for then the enemy will have to prepare against a possible attack at several different points.

Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting.

The best fighter is never angry.

A bad war is fought with a good mind.

Together, we will continue to support the fight against this cruel disease as cancer through elements as important as prevention and research.
