“Every guy I touch, it’s the same result. When I land, it’s like seeing one of those preachers on TV. When I touch them, they fall out.”

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 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.

I didn’t even know about amateur boxing, period.

I am not afraid to allow myself to fall, rise, grow and learn.

I thought that we were getting somewhere, but we’re still nowhere at all. I watch your tail lights fading, I try but a tear won’t fall.

The key is falling in love with something, anything. If your heart’s attached to it, then your mind will be attached to it.

I definitely fall in love quickly, and I’m very in love with being in love. But it is hard for me to write about love.

Your only gain is to try to get me to fall down to your level. Man, you worser than devils.

When you fall in love with love itself, you fall in love with everything else.

If the human being is a proud and honorable creature, he shouldn’t forget to act that way, even if he falls, even if the whole world is against him, even if he ends as a slave.
