“I will be dictated to by nobody. I’m the man. And if anyone can prove me wrong, their chance is inside a boxing ring. You don’t like it, change the station.”

I already know what boxers do; I’ve been in it all my life. I know what they do, and I know how they prepare.

I’ve not been paid millions of pounds for any fights. I’ve not made any money out of boxing.

I’m a unique fighter – one of a kind.

I just need to count the rounds and count me money afterwards.

I’m a fighting man, a fighting man with generations of fighting men before me in my family. That’s all we do: we fight.

I do like going to the movies, but I like eating tons of sweets and ice cream, so I can’t go to the movies anymore.

Racism is a sign of ignorance, in my opinion. It’s people who haven’t been anywhere, haven’t seen the world.

I’m not homophobic, I’m not racist. I’m not against any people. All I have for people is love.

Sometimes emotions can win fights. Sometimes letting your feelings out in a fight can win you the fight. When it means the world to you, it’s not just a sports contest – a boxing match for money or belts.

I can fight, but that’s the only thing I can do. When it comes to anything other than fighting or talking, I’m not very good.

Nothing has run smoothly with me throughout my life. Everything has had ups and downs and lefts and rights, and that’s just the way it has panned out for me, unfortunately.

Foolish people follow the system, get caught up in media news, what the government wants you to believe and all the higher powers want you to believe, and go down the same path as all the sheep in the cattle market.

I just want to make money, get on with my life, and be involved in good fights. If I’m not going to be involved in good fights, then what’s the point being a boxer?

Let’s make this clear: I do not hate anybody.

I have not met a man as tall as me who is as quick as me, ever.

I believe all woman look good in dresses; is that a crime?

Tis not too late to seek a newer world.

Like the resource it seeks to protect, wildlife conservation must be dynamic, changing as conditions change, seeking always to become more effective.

In the future, there will be no female leaders. There will just be leaders.

We cannot change what we are not aware of, and once we are aware, we cannot help but change.

Ignorance is always afraid of change.

If more women are in leadership roles, we’ll stop assuming they shouldn’t be.

Only within the moment of time represented by the present century has one species — man — acquired significant power to alter the nature of the world.

Sometimes the child in one behaves a certain way and the rest of oneself follows behind, slowly shaking its head.
