I train the same way as I've always trained, even before I was champion. That's the difference, I train like a challenger.

When you know yourself that you've come through preparation injury free and you've done everything, you've done the work in the gym and the rounds of sparring, it fills you with confidence.

If I look at the fighters that are coming through, fighters like Carl Froch for instance, do I worry about fighters like that? Course not, I could eat them for breakfast.

I know Haye's a good fighter as well and he beat Mormeck but Mormeck is not Enzo Maccarinelli and does not have the speed, stamina or punching power.

That gut-wrenching feeling of defeat I can still feel today. Losing and God are the two things that I fear. I fear no man

I've always been motivated to be a champion since the age of 13 and I love being a winner.

No secret man. Just starvation, hunger and diet.

I keep my feet on the ground, keep dedicated, keep focused, underestimate nobody and obviously you need the ability, talent and everything else that goes with it.

I'm devastated with the injury but I've proved my heart and skill to everyone by fighting one handed for eight rounds.

I love the big fights. Obviously you can't fight just for the money but the money is nice.

The lacy fight was a career defining fight.

The inability to delegate is one of the biggest problems I see with managers at all levels

I am very slow to warm. I've always been sort of a loner. I didn't play team sports. I am better one-on-one than in big groups.

I am not a big fan of positive thinking. The term suggests that there is something negative that you have to counteract by being positive. That is an artificial duality.

I'd been conflict-phobic my entire life because I didn't want to lose my inner core of peace.

It's just economics 101: When it's free to pollute, you get more pollution. But when there's a price to pay, industry will have an incentive to find low-cost carbon solutions.

O, ye who visit the distressed, do ye know that everything your money can buy, given with a cold, averted face, is not worth one honest tear shed in real sympathy?

I never put myself out there as an employment agency.

People don't choose their careers; they are engulfed by them.

Well, it's an adventure story, and a Bildungsroman, of course, but there was also the intention to describe a culture that had been seen in rather narrow terms.

I love funky styles. Not preppy or rock, just funky!
