I don't seek the limelight. I'm perfectly happy with a quiet life and spending time with my family, but I deserve recognition.
I'm a Juventus fan, although I did support Chelsea for some time - mainly because of Gianfranco Zola. Zola is from the same town as my father Enzo, in Sardinia.
I like him as a guy, but I'm going to knock him out - Roy Jones is just a prop in a fairytale ending to a great career for me.
Every fighter, when they box, wants to leave a mark in their sport, or a legacy, and I managed to do that beyond my wildest dreams.
It's in my DNA to fight and entertain.
It would be good to fight Roy Jones. I've always admired him, and I think this would be a great fight for the fans.
I'm pretty excited: to be inducted into the Hall of Fame is a massive achievement... and to be inducted with Oscar de la Hoya and Felix Trinidad, two great fighters, is a massive honour for me and my family.
My mum is the opposite of my dad. She's a very private person, very shy and totally against boxing. She never watched any of my fights live. She hated me doing it.
Roy Jones is a difficult fight.
I was told as a teenager I'd never box again. I had a really bad wrist injury; I couldn't even shadow box for six months. I went through surgery just to try and manage it.
There's no point looking good and losing. Winning is what it's all about, and you can't always look spectacular while doing it.
I like to give my kids the life I didn't have - they go to an excellent school; they have nice clothes, money for shopping. I'm quite generous with them, but they have fantastic manners - they're not spoilt.
My father was a cocky, long-haired musician, a songwriter.
If I'm greedy and keep chasing the money, it's inevitable I will be beaten one day.
Amateur boxing is one of the safest sports around.
My natural weight is 13 st. 7 lb. That's what I walk around at.
We had nothing, no money, when I was young. We lived in a council house. My dad struggled; my mum struggled. But that made me what I am. If I had everything on a plate from the start, maybe I would not have been a champion for 11 years.
I never really, really pushed my boys into boxing, but I guess it's in the blood.
My career has been very difficult. People respect the fact that I haven't just turned professional like Amir Khan or Audley Harrison, and it's been, 'Here's a million pound' - for spoilt brats to fight a couple of fights.
Before the Roy Jones fight, I knew I was going to retire because I couldn't train, my hands had gone, and the hunger had gone.
