“I believe all woman look good in dresses; is that a crime?”

I pray for forgiveness. For help and guidance. To be a better person. For the health of my family. For the world to be a better place.

It’s not about how much money I’m getting paid. It’s just a love of one-on-one combat. I feel I’m at home. I love the ring entrances, the talking. I’m the master of it all.

Everything I’ve set out to do, I’ve achieved, and all the praise goes to God.

My brother Shane and I used to spar with each other in the kitchen. We didn’t have gloves, so we wrapped tea towels around our hands.

Everything is possible through God, and I’m living proof of that.

My first job was working for my dad. He was a used-car dealer, and I used to wash the cars down, clean them out, and so on. I would do stuff for him pretty much every day. It was quite a good job, to be honest.

My Lord and saviour Jesus Christ does not hate anybody.

Women have to be pure and respectful.

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?

The care of God for us is a great thing, if a man believe it at heart: it plucks the burden of sorrow from him.

You never know how strong you are until being strong is your only choice.

I am still learning – how to take joy in all the people I am, how to use all my selves in the service of what I believe, how to accept when I fail and rejoice when I succeed.

Instead of weeping when a tragedy occurs in a songbird’s life, it sings away its grief. I believe we could well follow the pattern of our feathered friends.

You are braver than you believe, Stronger than you seem, And smarter than you think.

Do what you can and pray for what you cannot yet do.

I believe everybody’s an individual. You can’t judge someone based on someone else’s actions.

The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just.
