“I’m really excited about my future plans, as I’m doing things differently and currently training like a Trojan in pursuit of becoming heavyweight champion of the world.”

Good will always prevail over evil. I see that in me versus Klitschko.

Boxing is a dying sport, really. Years ago, the world heavyweight champion could be said to have reached the highest pinnacle of sport. Even in this country, boxers were heroes. Think of Henry Cooper and Frank Bruno.

I’m not a sexist. I believe if a man can to go work all his life, a woman can. Who am I to say, ‘Don’t do that because you’re a girl?’

Watching two men jib and jab for 12 rounds is not entertaining for me. I want action, knockouts, big shots, and people getting up off the canvas. That’s my ideal fight.

All I care about is providing and living every day. I don’t care about world titles, being a legend, or being a hero.

When my little son, Prince, had health issues as a baby, we were told that he had a 20 percent chance of survival.

I am fighting royalty. I have gypsy kings on both sides of the family.

At the end of the day, we’re all brothers and sisters in God. What people do is none of my business.

Growing up, I was brought up around Irish music, Irish traditions.

My opinion is that I follow what the Lord says. Or I try to. Others are following what they want to do, basically. They are living for their self. I am living for God.

I prefer to fight a bigger guy. I don’t like fighting smaller guys; they give me problems with their agility.

I could drive from the age of nine. My dad had his car pitch at home, and we used to drive the cars around the land, take them up to the tap, wash them, and reverse them back.

My only idol is God, and I kick myself when I don’t pray regularly enough.

Goliath was a champion, a monster who had never been beaten, and then this young guy, David, came forward, a child who believed in God and did it.

There was a lot of politics going on, and Ireland were denied an Olympic gold medal in 2008.

If anyone wants to abuse other people for whatever colour, race or creed they are, then it’s just stupidness, isn’t it?

Society’s future will depend on a continuous improvement program for the human character. And what will that future bring? I do not know, but it will be exciting.

Many people think excitement is happiness. But when you are excited you are not peaceful. True happiness is based on peace.

The prime function of the children’s book writer is to write a book that is so absorbing, exciting, funny, fast and beautiful that the child will fall in love with it.

Passion is passion. It’s the excitement between the tedious spaces, and it doesn’t matter where it’s directed.

Best place to view is from the beach. Excitement guaranteed!

If you are working on something exciting that you really care about, you don’t have to be pushed. The vision pulls you.

Somewhere within you is a purpose, a beautiful purpose that will excite you and fulfill you.

Always work hard on something uncomfortably exciting.
