“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 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’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.

I’m not homophobic, I’m not racist. I’m not against any people. All I have for people is love.

Sometimes emotions can win fights. Sometimes letting your feelings out in a fight can win you the fight. When it means the world to you, it’s not just a sports contest – a boxing match for money or belts.

Life is very short, and there’s no time for fussing and fighting my friends.

Winning is important, but survival is even more important. If you don’t survive, you don’t get to fight the next battle.

By accepting life’s limits and inevitabilities and working with them rather than fighting them, we become free.

If you are born an artist, you have no choice but to fight to stay an artist.

When you fight to honor racists, you show black Tennesseans and all of their allies where you stand, and you continue this cycle of hurt. You can’t change history, but you can change this.

Rain or shine – I will always fight for you.

For those who fight for it life has a flavor the sheltered will never know.

I believe in a religion that believes in freedom. Any time I have to accept a religion that won’t let me fight a battle for my people, I say to hell with that religion.
