“Goliath was a champion, a monster who had never been beaten, and then this young guy, David, came forward, a child who believed in God and did it.”

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.

I just need to count the rounds and count me money afterwards.

I’m a fighting man, a fighting man with generations of fighting men before me in my family. That’s all we do: we fight.

I do like going to the movies, but I like eating tons of sweets and ice cream, so I can’t go to the movies anymore.

Racism is a sign of ignorance, in my opinion. It’s people who haven’t been anywhere, haven’t seen the world.

When it comes to being badass nothing beats this It took me 17 years and 114 days to become an overnight success.

Pitching always beats batting – and vice-versa.

Nothing beats that sibling love.

Man, like the universe, is a machine. Nothing enters our minds or determines our actions which is not directly or indirectly a response to stimuli beating upon our sense organs from without.

Don’t worry about the Black Panther Party. As long as you keep the beat, we’ll keep on going.

The writing process, the way I go about it is I do whatever the beat feels like, whatever the beat is telling me to do.

A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.

I’m young; I’m handsome; I’m fast. I can’t possibly be beat.
