I love fighting. I don't know what it is in me, whether it's a sickness or a gene, but I just love standing in front of another fighter and going for it: they can hurt me, and I can hurt them.

Just because I beat David Haye doesn't make me a great fighter. I'm still the same fighter that I was.

You'll never see me go into a fight and struggle to get up for it. I understand first and foremost what's at stake.

Usyk is less of a puncher than Lomachenko but comes with just as high a work rate, so Usyk has to take some to give some to be exciting, whereas Lomachenko has genuine power, and he can stop fighters with that power.

Getting into character to become 'Pretty' Ricky Conlan for the 'Creed' film was surreal.

What people have to realise is that it's not the fights that are really hard; it is the training camps. It's living away from home for 12 weeks. It's sparring with guys who are told they will get £1,000 cash if they can drop me.

Some say I'm arrogant, some say I'm deluded.

I know what I am getting into with heavyweights. Not one of them can dictate against me because, firstly, they don't have feet fast enough. Secondly, while there are far better athletes and stronger fighters than me, even some who are quicker, they don't have the ring IQ I have. It allows me to dictate.

Stylistically, Tommy Hearns is much better than Marvin Hagler - his technique and punching were better - but he just couldn't do it. He couldn't beat Marvin Hagler, and it's because styles make fights.

I'm the best heavyweight outside the world champions, and let's not forget that.

I want to cause havoc. I want to cause mayhem - and I mean the worst mayhem you can see.

I've made some bad mistakes in life.

I had a headache for four days after the first Haye fight. I didn't tell anyone, I just went to bed and thought it would go. But for four days it remained. Then I got my brain scan before the second fight, and I was worried when I went for it.

I can't and won't be defeated at Goodison Park, the greatest stadium in the world.

I'm happy for people to rate and rank me as they want, but it will never come from my mind.

I just struggle with the fame thing and people thinking I'm something I'm not. I'll always struggle with that until the day I die, I think.

Make no mistake about it: nobody gives you nothing for nothing. You have to work hard to get what you want.
