“Once I am in the square circle, I am in my home.”

I turned pro as a 20-year-old, won a world title a year later, and remained a world champion ever since.

I’ll back up anything my dad says.

Every home that I have is paid for, every car that I have is paid for, and I am a hundred-million-dollar man. I mean, this is the truth; it’s not a lie.

You have to protect yourself at all times. What goes around comes around.

I’m always focused.

I could lie and say my wife cooks for me, but she doesn’t. My wife has never learnt cooking but she has great cooks at home.

Go back home where you came from. This country is mine, and I intend to stay here and to raise this country full of grown people.
