Having been a fighter for 25 years, I know how to handle the fear. The fear is there, but I use it to motivate me.
I find it quite sad to see the likes of Evander Holyfield carrying on past their sell-by date.
I'm somebody from a little tiny town, who had boxed in leisure centres, and my last fight was in Madison Square Garden against one of the greats. What a great way to finish off.
I thank God that I had such an amazing father who was my trainer as well.
At the end of your career, you go, 'I'm gonna be able to retire undefeated and be one of the very, very few people in history to do it.' People were saying I should try and get to 50-0, but my number was 46 - that was it. I could have kept trying, but one loss would have spoiled everything.
I embraced every struggle because it made me the fighter I was.
Boxing was my destiny.
I didn't like school at all. I was bullied and didn't have a good time. Boxing was my escapism, and the ring was where I felt best.
When I boxed against Jeff Lacy, that was one fight that I was so proud of.
I pick my nose quite a bit.
When I was 17, my mum made me work in a cake factory for three days - I hated it.
Spiders - hate 'em.
I don't want my career to peter out fighting meaningless fights; I want to go against the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world.
When it comes to the singing part, I think I missed the boat - the whole family can sing except for me. But they can't fight, so I suppose I've been a bit more successful than them there.
I liked 'The Office' when it was on.
Boxing's in my blood, so I'll always stay involved in that, and I'll probably do a bit of TV work as well, commentary and that.
It's not just a trainer - as a man, my dad was unbelievable. Even outside boxing, he was my friend as well. We were boxer and trainer in the gym, but as soon as that bell goes, we'd have a cup of tea, and we'd go on about normal life. We would just leave that bit behind. That's how we kept going.
Ideally, it would be nice if you could earn enough money to kick on from boxing and use the finances to start a business. Realistically, that doesn't happen.
I try to work out about four or five times a week. I'll do a little bit of cardio, half hour on the punchbag, or just go for a jog.
I do like to travel.
