“I am fighting royalty. I have gypsy kings on both sides of the family.”

I’ve challenged Cain Velasquez to a fight three times. He’s a little boy who doesn’t want to fight. He said no, live on TV.

My mum had 14 pregnancies – but only four of us survived. We had a little sister born for a few days and she died. There had to be a funeral.

If ever you want to get rid of somebody you don’t want to talk to, just mention God. They’re out of there.

I’ve got an outspoken personality, which gets people thinking, and my style of fighting is aggressive. Everything’s on the line all the time. In my fights, there’s drama.

Every time I stray away from the Lord’s word, I find emptiness and darkness.

I was always quite good at fixing and working with cars. My dad’s always dealt cars, and I’ve always been brought up around them. They’re one of the things I’ve always been interested in.

Whatever is conventional, I am the opposite. So if you want to walk in a straight line, I am going to walk in zigzags. If you want to throw a 1-2, I’ll throw a 2-1.

Whether someone like Klitschko wins, loses, draws, or gets knocked out in five seconds, he is still a big name.

I’d like to take a course in writing. I’m not the best writer in the world. I’d like to write more neatly, even though people don’t send many handwritten letters these days.

There’s lots of sins in this life. We’re all sinners. If you don’t believe in God and you don’t believe in the scriptures, then we are on a different page.

I’m a little bit backward. I didn’t really go to school.

You can take a man out of Ireland, but you can’t take the Irishness out of the man.

Although I think of myself as the greatest heavyweight, I do respect the legends of the past for what they did. But they are not my heroes.

Listen, I believe I should be winning Sport Personality of the Year because if it’s about sporting achievements and it’s about personality, then I’m a winner hands down.

People can say what they want about me. But I’ve got a big heart and will keep going.

Wilder is not a big draw in the U.S. He maybe sells 5,000 to 10,000 tickets when he’s fighting in his own town for the heavyweight champion.

My biggest fear is the people I love not knowing how much I love them. I just want to remind people all the time.

Family is something your heart accepts, not something your blood relates.

I have a weird definition of family; it’s not the same as everyone else’s.

The most important thing in the world is family and love.

Friends are God’s way of apologizing for your family.

Acting is just a way of making a living, the family is life.

The greatest measure of a man is the health and happiness of his family.

My ultimate life dream project is my kids. My family.
