Boxing has lost its glamour and excitement. I'm going to bring it back.

When you are challenging for the world title, you've got to go into the lion's den to try and rip that belt away from the champion.

In my life, my religion comes first, and obviously, my family comes second.

When I used to leave behind my wife and kids and go into training camp for nine weeks at a time, I felt it, especially if you're having young children and leaving them literally within weeks of them being born.

When you become a world champion and you defend your title for five or six years, and you have fifteen defences of your title, and you round up most of the other belts - and you feel you're the best of your generation at the time - nobody can take that away from you.

During my career, there were times we were inseparable, and I can honestly say that if it were not for Brendan Ingle, I would not have achieved all I did in the sport of boxing.

There isn't a featherweight who can beat me.

I've won every title, and I've done everything in my division.

I know there is not a featherweight out there who I couldn't beat.

No, I've never been frightened before a fight.

I'm one of those very confident people who just forgets about fear and gives it to somebody else. I get into that ring, and I walk round, I hear my music, and then I start buzzing.

Yes, definitely, I've got so much belief in God, and I think that God's got so much belief in me.

I want the chance to show Barrera and the world that I am a true champion.

I still look back at the days in the early '90s and think, 'Boy, that confidence just came out in me strong,' and it was fantastic, the drama and the entertainment I brought.

I don't see anything remotely like me in boxing, past or future.

That's what a true professional is - a true world champion, so to everybody out there listening, especially the fighters that want to fight me... they'll get knocked out, sparko.

I'm not saying I'm Mr Goody Two Shoes. I'm not. But if you try to rough me up, I'm going to body-slam you. I'm going to do everything I have to do psychologically to tell you that you are not stronger than me.

There's no bigger fight on the planet than Prince Naseem and Marco Antonio Barrera. What's bigger than that? This will be the greatest fight in the history of the featherweight division.

I just refuse to lose.
