“I don’t see myself being in the sport a very long period of time, so I want to fight as much as possible.”

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

All my prayers go out to Tyson Fury. I know it’s difficult to be in his situation.

Going to Russia is going to be nothing for me. I’m going to treat it like it’s the U.S. because, at the end of the day, it’s one man, one ring.

I like to have fun in the ring, but I knock them out.

I can be a tennis player, a golf player, and even a soccer player.

I don’t play boxing.

The craziest thing about it, I used to hate fighting, but you had to show how tough you was; you had to show you wasn’t no punk.

I want to put my name in history. I love history.

I have so many things that I want to do with my life. I just don’t see myself being a fighter forever. Boxing is my love and passion. It also opens up and sets up other things in my life as well.

I can adapt to any environment or any situation I need to, so I am ready to go to Russia. You take what you get or start crying about it, but I am re-doing ‘Rocky IV.’ I am doing the black ‘Rocky.’

I could put everything I got in the bank on my abilities and skill and will, and what I’m capable of doing in the ring.

It’s a great feeling to be the WBC champ of the world, but there’s more to gain from this.

People who know me know that if I say I’m going to do something, I’m doing it. I am hungry. I am determined.

I want the people to be able to see me and be able to see a great performance.

I wanted to show the world what Deontay Wilder is all about. I’m a heavyweight, and I’m exciting.

I just love boxing. I’m in love with the sport.

Can we take a direct flight back to reality or do we have to change planes in Denver?

Beginning with the early dawn of each day, I will radiate joy to everyone I meet. I will be mental sunshine for all who cross my path. Before the unfailing light of my cheer, darkness will take flight.

Love is a power too strong to be overcome by anything but flight.

Meanwhile the Adversary of God and man, Satan with thoughts inflamed of highest design, Puts on swift wings, and towards the gates of hell Explores his solitary flight.

How do you get off a non-stop flight?

Music gives the mind wings, flight to the imagination and life to everything.

Thoughts on a tapestry. Colour or black and white. A brush, a pen, A flash of light. Ideas flowing soon, about to take flight.

Use only that which works, and take it from any place you can find it.
