“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?”

Everything I’ve set out to do, I’ve achieved, and all the praise goes to God.

My brother Shane and I used to spar with each other in the kitchen. We didn’t have gloves, so we wrapped tea towels around our hands.

Everything is possible through God, and I’m living proof of that.

My first job was working for my dad. He was a used-car dealer, and I used to wash the cars down, clean them out, and so on. I would do stuff for him pretty much every day. It was quite a good job, to be honest.

My Lord and saviour Jesus Christ does not hate anybody.

Women have to be pure and respectful.

I aim for the stars, and winning a world title will not be a fulfilment of a dream for me. It never has been.

There’s never been someone like me in history – a fighter like me only comes along every 1,000 years.

I don’t hate old men but listen when being spoken to.

I’ve said a lot of stuff in the past, but not with any intentions to hurt anybody. It’s all a bit tongue-in-cheek.

As a fan, I like watching fighters rather than boxers.

I think I need a psychiatrist because I do believe I am mentally disturbed in some way.

I’ve sparred with lots of people and played around with everybody.

What personality does it take to drive a car around a track 100 times or hit a ball back and forth. That’s not very personality is it?

Although there’s been a fighter before me called Mike Tyson, I’m my own Tyson. I’m Tyson Fury. I ain’t trying to be anybody else.

I have a nice house, nice cars, nice watches, nice things. I’ve got money in the bank. I’m not in need of a few quid – as it stands. It’s all irrelevant to me.

The type of work I do is more like CrossFit, so I do track workouts, and I do boxing workouts.

Boxing is an all year round sport.

I love boxing! Working out is calming and helps clear my mind.

I’ve always boxed, I always taught boxing.

Battle rap is a culture. That’s boxing, it’s like boxing.

I love the fight game. I like the brutality. I like the mentality. I like the aggressiveness, but I like the technique and skill. I like the stakes. I like the people around in the gym. I like the everyday, working class feel of a boxing gym.

My computer beat me at checkers, but I sure beat it at kickboxing.

I’m just going to punch him and do my best. If the knockout comes, it comes.
