“The hardest part is just hearing people saying that I won’t amount to crap, and that I’m going to be a bust.”

I want to shock the world, and I’m going to do that through boxing.

I’m looking to prove myself and earn that respect in the ring.

I’m going to wait until I’m 20 before I start calling out world champions.

I don’t care about losing. How many times did Michael Jordan lose before he won his first championship? It wasn’t about the number of losses with Sugar Ray Leonard or Tommy Hearns.

Adjust to your surroundings, because the world don’t wait for you.

I really have no fear.

I’ve become a better boxer and a better person.

This is a pretty barbaric game. You can’t really let emotions get into the way.

I take no step backward from anyone.

I ain’t intimidated by Mayweather. Nobody could intimidate me.

I’ve said all along that I was destined for greatness.

I could have been the next Babe Ruth. No doubt about it.

How am I one of the biggest fighters in the world and I get bigger paychecks outside of boxing?

I know Golden Boy definitely believes in me and backs me 100 percent.

I want Gervonta. That’s my Lomachenko fight – the fight that people don’t think I can win.

I want to break down barriers in boxing.
