I would love to have gone there, fight at Madison Square Garden or a casino in Las Vegas, but there are no American heavyweights now who can pose a challenge to me.
— David Haye
To beat Wladimir Klitschko, I have to be better than I've ever been.
Maybe Tony Bellew is my Benn-Eubank.
Arturo Gatti-Micky Ward. Joe Frazier-Muhammad Ali. You get these rivalries in boxing - not that often, so when you do get them, why do you want to sanitise it?
I love watching reruns of 'Sex And The City.'
There are a lot of fighters, when I fight them, they stay hit forever and never fight again.
My punching power passes any other heavyweight.
Boxing fans are a very cynical bunch.
Fighting in Germany, Wladimir Klitschko makes so much money for everyone.
Money talks at the end of the day.
Chisora's not a nice man, not a nice human being.
I'm too fast, too sexy, and too talented to be blown away by a large, slow robot from the Ukraine.
Muhammad Ali is my hero. Yes, he was the best boxer in the world, but he also put himself on the line. He talked when black Americans had to be quiet.
The whole idea behind going ahead with this Chisora fight was that a victory may then lead to a fight with Vitali Klitschko.
Only time will tell whether the Klitschkos need me more than I need them. They won't believe that. But it depends what they want out of boxing. If they want guaranteed easy victories, then they can do what they've always done, but if they want a tough challenge, you'd think they would want to beat down my door.
Once I have beaten Mormeck, I don't feel there'll be anything left to prove. After winning the world title, I will be recognised as the No. 1 cruiserweight in the world.
A lot of people say, 'OK, I'm overweight, so I'm not going to eat any food; I'm only going to have an apple a day,' but then your body will go into starvation mode, so what you've got to do is increase your metabolism.
I want to leave a legacy, but to do that, I need to be on my best game.
I've got three Bentleys, a couple of Mercs, and two Range Rovers.
Even on one leg, I thought I could knock Tony Bellew out. I was gutted when Shane McGuigan threw the towel in.
My son's dream is to win Wimbledon - I'd love that.
In 2000, I got stuck in the sea off Cyprus after I fell off a boat. I was out there for over an hour. I am not a strong swimmer, but adrenaline kicked in, and I swam back.
People say, 'Where do you get your strength from?' Well, where does an ape get his strength from? They are 20 times stronger than humans, and they don't rely on a meat-based diet. They eat plants all day long. It's a myth that you need meat for strength.
When I first went to Fitzroy Lodge, I said I was going to be heavyweight champion of the world and retire when I was 30. This is when I was 10.
I've been in the ring with the Bronze Bomber, Deontay Wilder. I've tasted his power, and he's tasted mine.
No flipping tables over any more for me.
You get these young kids who are training their whole life to go to the Olympics. To go there and not fight someone else like them but fight someone who has might won an Olympics before, been a world champion, and is just coming back to fight some kids, I think is insane.
I've had a lot of good nights, and ideally, I don't want to be remembered for a bad night.
I've never been to Ukraine, but I have heard it's very dangerous for a black man. There are crazy racists who have already sent me death threats.
I've got good genes. My dad was a martial arts instructor - and he was good.
It makes absolutely no sense for me to turn down a fight I desperately want.
I want to have the same success in my acting career as I did in my boxing career.
If you ever need a good steak, Stringfellows is the place to go in London.
There are no shortcut to losing weight. Just hard work and dedication, hard work and dedication.
I'm good at keeping on top of my emotions and not letting them influence the fight.
Once you share a ring with someone, go to war with someone... you have a different type of respect for someone.
It's hard to judge somebody before or after a fight. Adrenaline is flowing, and you're hyped up.
I would fight till I'm dead. This is why I am here. I am put on Earth to fight. I feel it deep in my waters.
I spent more than £150,000 on a limited-edition Mercedes SL.
I definitely believe if you give me any part of your chin, you are going to sleep.
Fury said he would rather fight his cousin than me.
Even though he's a moron, I supported Tyson Fury.
Mark de Mori is a solid operator.
One thing you can guarantee with the Travellers, they've got a lot of heart.
I am not interested in fighting against 50 wimps like the Klitschkos do.
No one's going to hold your hand in the boxing business. And the people who do end up ripping you off.
I was born with a black eye. When they pulled me out with the forceps, they clamped them round my face, so I had a big bruise from that.
I've got no desire to fight Dereck Chisora inside the ring or outside the ring.
I'd like to be one of the ones who got out on his own terms.
I have always maintained you should be able to bench press and deadlift at least twice your body weight.
