“I love to box, because I think boxing is an art.”

I paid attention to how Floyd Mayweather adapts.

To beat Gervonta? That would be good.

My improvements, my fights and the competition is going to get better. I’m going to be ready for it.

I work on my technique, but when I do a video, I want people to be amazed by the speed or the power. The casual fans don’t care if your hands are up or your hands are down.

I’m a true fighter, not an Instagram fighter.

I just want better competition the more I step up.

I’ve always had girls liking me.

I’m definitely not afraid to take on any type of challenge.

Seeing guys like Canelo helps me get better because they are already champions and I want to become champion. Having role models like that helps me a lot.

You have to believe in yourself.

My self-belief, really is what kept me going, I always believed I could be a great champion, a world champion.

I got speed and power. I got two things. And I’ve all the other aspects of boxing.

I just fight like myself. I’m like a cat – if I see the opening, I’m going to shoot for it. I think what stands out is my accuracy.

In 2020, I want to set a standard where I’m only fighting the best guys.

Once I beat Gervonta Davis like I’ve been calling it, that’s going to be like history repeats itself with Sonny Liston and Muhammad Ali.

I want to leave my own legacy and write my own story.

The fight is won or lost far away from the witnesses, behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road; long before I dance under those lights.

The greater our level of understanding, the harder the tests become.

True success is reaching our potential without compromising our values.

I’m a fighter. I believe in the eye-for-an-eye business. I’m no cheek turner. I got no respect for a man who won’t hit back. You kill my dog, you better hide your cat.

Champions have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.

I don’t count my sit-ups; I only start counting when it starts hurting because they’re the only ones that count.

Braggin’ is when a person says something and can’t do it. I do what I say.

The roughest and toughest fighter I fought was Joe Frazier.
