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.

As a heavyweight, I've not missed dieting. Those days where you're sore or tired, it makes me feel happy to know I can eat a bar of chocolate.

People wonder why I dislike my opponents. It's not personal or that I hate them: it's just that I know what I've had to sacrifice to face them.
