I like hurting people.

Especially with someone like me, my family know how much I push myself to the absolute limit.

I will beat Andre Ward. I will knock out Andre Ward. He's a pound-for-pound king, but I will beat him.

On May 29 2016, my wildest dreams came true. I became the WBC cruiserweight champion of the world at Goodison Park. The dream location, the dream title, the dream ending, a third-round knockout of Iunga Makabu.

I've mixed sparring partners up. I've done tons upon tons of rounds with big, heavy lumps who are trying to take my head off.

I want people to remember me when I retire as a fighter who would fight anyone - that Tony Bellew was scared of no one. I'm happy with that. Anything more is a bonus.

I knew about boxing, as my dad could fight. He had a successful security firm in Liverpool, and I'd see him come back from a jog before shadow boxing in the back yard. I'd watch and replicate what he was doing, as kids do. It's funny how things turn out.

Some people have asked me do you think I got David Haye at the right time, but nobody said it was the right time when he weighed in with a six-pack, looking fantastic.

My goal first and foremost when I walk into that boxing ring is to get home safe to my missus and three children, because they're all in life that need me, and they really do need me.

I like the thought of gaining revenge over WBC light-heavyweight champion Adonis Stevenson, who beat me in 2013.

I just want to be left alone.

Do I beat a fully fledged, fully fit Tyson Fury? Probably not. But do I beat a Tyson Fury that's been out of the ring for two years? Yes.

I am not a heavy drinker, I've never taken a drug in my life, but I am prone to a pizza.

David Haye was a better fighter than me, but it's not about the better fighter because the better fighter does not always win.

I used to be a light-heavyweight, and I'm much faster than cruiserweight. That's the reason I didn't struggle with David Haye's speed, and David Haye is much quicker than Oleksandr Usyk with one punch and much, much, more destructive with the way he hits.

I could also lose to lesser fighters than David Haye, based on the fact that styles make fights.

Anyone can lose a fight. That doesn't bother me. But the shame that comes afterwards is unbearable.

I was hoping David Haye would beat the fight out of me in the second fight.
