“There’s people that tried to celebrate when I lost that got nothing to do with it. That’s not the sign of a champion.”

Clean fighting solves everything. It ends all bad blood and any ill feelings people have. That’s my thoughts.

When I am free to train and free to move, I feel like a gorilla in the jungle. Then, when there are a bunch of media obligations, I feel like I have been captured and am being kept on display.

My success isn’t a result of arrogance – it’s a result of belief.

Any top-level athlete, it’s always the same. There’s always that hint of arrogance there… It’s hard to be humble when you’re the best.

Muhammad Ali is a legend, a hero of mine.

To do anything to a high level, it has to be total obsession.

I take inspiration from everyone and everything. I’m inspired by current champions, former champions, true competitors, people dedicated to their dream, hard workers, dreamers, believers, achievers.

I’m not going to get somewhere and say, ‘OK, I’m done.’ Success is never final; I’ll just keep on going.

I train and I go home, and when I’m home, I think about training. That’s my life every day, and that’s it.

I have a self-defense mind. I’ve had it all my life.

I want to negotiate what I’m worth. I want to put my analytics forward, man-to-man, and to be like, ‘This is what I’m owed now. Pay me.’ And then we can talk.

When I say something’s going to happen, it’s going to happen.

I always teach myself calm and visualization stuff.

What someone else does or doesn’t do has no effect on me and what I do.

I don’t feel that emotion is a good thing to have in combat. You must be cold.

I’m interested in movement, and I’m interested in money, and I’m interested in the movement of money.
