“I’m looking forward to the fighting with no headgear – I’m jealous. I kind of want to go back to the Olympics to experience no headgear.”

When you have a fighter willing to do that, when he is seriously hurt and in pain but still fights, you’ve got a dangerous man on your hands.

To make it in boxing, you must captivate the fans in America, too.

I will be that guy to change this sport, especially in the heavyweight division. A lot of people have lost interest. I’m the right man for the job… I want to make it bigger and better than it ever have been before.

I would love to go to England.

The British scene in boxing, not just the heavyweight division, is popping.

There is no bigger fight than Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder.

Boxing is my true calling. I’ve found my purpose in life.

I want to defend and put my title on the line as much as possible. If the top in the division are ready to try to come and take my belt – and the key word is ‘try’ – I’m ready to give them that opportunity.

I think Joshua has been doing a good job winning his fights and beating the guys in front of him. You got to congratulate him for his success.

If Bronze Bomber got loose in the streets, it won’t be something nice.

I’m definitely an active champion. I’m looking forward to defending my belt as many times as possible.

People can be too harsh, especially with social media. It brings a person down.

God definitely blessed me with power. I still don’t know the limits of my own power.

I’m not going nowhere, no matter who I fight.

I’m one of the baddest, hardest-hitting heavyweights in the business. Right here from Alabama, baby.

I was born a leader, never a follower. I never felt peer pressure. If the group goes left, I go right.

Heartbreak does not have to be a meaningless experience. For many, it is a spiritual catalyst – a pathway to awakening to ones deepest desires for love, purpose and connection.

Every picture I make, every experience of my private life, every lesson I learn are the keys to my future. And I have faith in it.

In my experience, depth of work consists of two components. The first is recklessness; the second is discipline.

The hardest part of living is experiencing death without dying.

It’s okay to lose; just don’t lose the lesson.

Each man believes only his experience.

I have experience seducing nephews.

The best way to truly understand narrative art is to experience it.
