Boxing is a part of my life but it's only a small part.
My mum was always saying when we were kids: 'If you don't do you homework you're not going to the gym.' She was always a big believer in having something to fall back on.
It's very rare in British boxing that you have two fighters who are both undefeated and who are both world champions.
I turned pro to be a world champion. Obviously that's the first goal, but I want to be the best in the world.
You can be world champion, but ranked No 6 in the world, with there being four champions.
No. 1 in the world is the ultimate goal for me.
I believe I've shown my worth, become a world champion, now I want to try and see how good I am. The only way I'll find that out is by testing myself against the best.
If I can't get a unification fight, then there's other tops names, even though they haven't got a world title, ie Golovkins, stuff like that.
I've been working on my power, obviously I do my strength work, I'm learning the technical things as well.
I've got a height advantage over everyone but when they do get at me I can fight just as well inside.
When I was about 17 I was on the G.B. squad and that's where I wanted to be. I went to the Commonwealth Games and got silver there, but the three years I was on the team it was London-this, London-that. It was all preparation for the Olympics.
I want to see how good I am, and the only way to do that is to fight the best in the division.
I'm a big believer that, if you're good enough, then why wait around fighting a load of journeymen for a few years? If you're good enough, then step up.
It's never been Badou Jack or James DeGale that I want to fight, it's the World title that I want; it doesn't matter to me who it is.
Number one is somewhere I always believed I would be.
I concentrate on myself and make sure the best version of me turns up, and if that's the case, I believe I beat anyone in the world.
I'm too professional, too much of a perfectionist to take my eye off the ball.
I treat every camp the same. Every fight since my debut has always been a must-win.
If you are not fighting and not training, it does have an effect on you no matter who you are.
