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

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

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.

When I structured my career, I looked at Muhammad Ali, which is my all-time favorite and an idol of mine, and what he has done for this sport. He was a real-life hero.

At the end of the day, I am going for all the belts, so I am going to have to go through all of them. And I would live to fight the U.K. guys – even in the U.K.

I’m not playing around in 2016.

I was raised by both parents up to 17. We had a good family. We had a middle class family, good teaching and good surroundings, raised by the church, where I went every week whether I wanted to or not.

I definitely got into a lot of fights when I was a kid. I never understood it. I was one of those quiet kids. I never picked with no one.

I’m an optimistic guy. I’m one of those big dreamers. I’m one of those kids with that annoying imagination.

One thing I’m big on is believing in giving an album time. I’ll say you’ll have to give an album three years before you can call it a classic. If you can’t listen to it three years later then it’s not really a classic.

I’m a big bike fan – my homies got Harleys and all kind of choppers – but to be honest I’m scared to ride motorcycles like that.

I don’t think your ability to fight has anything to do with how big you are. It’s to do with how much anger is in you.

Love is so much bigger than our ignorance.

If I set my mind to something I do it. My biggest wish for all of us is that we are happy, successful, and that we stay true to ourselves.

When you try to do something big its hard to fail completely.

Life is so much bigger, grander, higher, and wider than we allow ourselves to think.
