I'm going to smash Wayne McCullough to bits. And when you see him smashed to bits, you're going to see the same thing I'd have done to Barry McGuigan, his friend and idol.

I found boxing so, so easy with incredible power, speed, and accuracy.

I fall back on my faith; whatever happens, whatever goes wrong in your life, Muslims thank God because it could have gone worse.

I want to be remembered as the man who changed the pay scale for featherweights, who put the sparkle back in boxing after Muhammad Ali left, the man who took risks with his ring entrance, the man who, before the fight, would do a front flip into the ring without even thinking about turning an ankle, and then knocking his man out. I mean out.

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua? Styles make fights, and that would be a great clash of styles and a great clash of personalities.

It sounds so early - retiring at 28. But I don't feel it's that early for me. If you're blessed enough and you're gifted and you're lucky enough, and you've got a fortunate career, then you can take that step back. I'm just happy that I did it.

From the age of seven, I was destined to be a legend, to be the world's most popular fighter.

I lit up the Middle East when I lit up the world in the 1990s and gave people here something to be proud of.

I may be born in the U.K., but nobody takes away from the fact that I'm an Arab, and I'm proud to be Arab.

I came out out at the age of 28 and knew I'd had one loss on points, and the only reason I had that loss was that the fight was taken too soon. I lost two and a half stone in eight weeks, which was virtually impossible, but I made it, and I still got that big cheque!

I love it when fighters are textbook.

I could have brought Kevin Kelley to my own backyard and beat him up there. But I didn't want to do that. I wanted to come to his own backyard and bring him down in front of his own crowd, a place he loves.

When I was fighting, there was no boxing in Saudi Arabia because it was forbidden.

My career was a gift that I'm very happy about. I loved every step of it. I was blessed. I won all the titles and put my stamp on the sport.

I am excited by and impressed with Anthony Joshua, but Anthony has a long way to go. At first, I thought Anthony was similar to a Frank Bruno figure, but after a few fights, I realised he's nothing like Frank Bruno. He's very athletic.

I just feel proud when they say in 'Forbes' magazine that the highest-paid athlete is a fighter.
