Maybe Tony Bellew is my Benn-Eubank.
Once you share a ring with someone, go to war with someone... you have a different type of respect for someone.
I've got three Bentleys, a couple of Mercs, and two Range Rovers.
To beat Wladimir Klitschko, I have to be better than I've ever been.
I'm good at keeping on top of my emotions and not letting them influence the fight.
I want to leave a legacy, but to do that, I need to be on my best game.
Fight fans just want to see the best against the best - if only it was that simple.
Nobody will hold it against him if he cancels the fight with Dereck Chisora - the public aren't interested in that fight; nobody knows who he is. It is pretty sad but shows the mindset of Wladimir Klitschko and why he will go down in history as a heavyweight who just fought the worst possible people out there.
I eat tall, chinny, Eastern European heavyweights for breakfast.
Whatever any boxer does in the ring, I don't think any reporter should call him a coward. Anyone who does that I lose complete respect for. There's a difference between being a coward and being scared, or apprehensive. Different fighters have got different mentalities.
When someone unloads on me, I keep my head moving; I don't freeze. I punch back with them. The occasion never gets to me. Not one bit. I enjoy it.
Although boxing is a sport, it's still entertainment. You've still got the fear, press conferences, the stare-downs. It's all an act in some ways. My whole life I've been doing it. I love this side of boxing - as much as the actual fight.
I'm a showman.
You can't hit someone if they're holding on to you.
In the lead-up to fights, I'm very relaxed, very calm.
It's the warm-up in the changing room when I switch on. I don't even think about the fight until then. Some fighters are bouncing about the walls, but I switch off. Then it's like someone flicks a switch in me.
When I'm training, I use heavier crepe for wraps, for protection - but you're not allowed to use them in competition. So when it comes to the fight, the wraps are softer.
Winning the title then losing it to John Ruiz... I'd be devastated.
Just before a fight, as the ring empties, you can feel it. There is danger and loneliness all around you. Soon it's just the three of you in there: the referee, your opponent, and you. You're in a very lonely moment then. But, strangely, that's when I feel most comfortable. The ring becomes my office, and I go to work.
What I want to achieve in boxing is worldwide. I want to show I'm not just a British commodity... To do that, you have to fight the best and fight all over the world.
