“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?”

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.

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.

As you know, I get a lot of abuse on Twitter. And while I’m abroad on training camp, I train three times a day, often for two hours a time, and I haven’t got time to respond to all the people that ask questions.

I’m looking forward to fighting Chisora, getting him out of the way, and then fighting Klitschko for all the belts, but I don’t think Wladimir is going to take the fight.

There are 7 billion people in the world, but there’s only one heavyweight champion of the world, and that’s me.

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.

I can also romance a guy if I like the character and the script. Obviously, only in the film!

We all have defining moments. It is in these moments that we find our true characters. We become heroes or cowards; truth tellers or liars; we go forward or we go backward.

There is a very thin line dividing characterisation from impersonation. I’ve to make sure I don’t cross over into mimicry.

Never say any man is hopeless, because he only represents a character, a bundle of habits, which can be checked by new and better ones. Character is repeated habits, and repeated habits alone can reform character.

No, I don’t have to practice that grunt. You just do it. Once you’re in character, you’re in character. You don’t sit there purposely thinking, Well, I’ll grunt here, or I’ll groan there.

I always liked characters that were more grounded in reality.

There is no surer road to destruction than prosperity without character.

Envy is so natural to human kind, that it cannot but arise.
