I think I'm one of the hardest-training fighters in the world.

Big Difference
|
Nov 07, 2020

Organic food is the best for you, and I'm eating the best, a lot of fresh vegetables. I also keep myself hydrated. It's all made a big difference to my performance in the gym.

I'm just a fighter.

Love
|
Nov 07, 2020

I love the British public and the British fans; they are true boxing fans. If you get them on your side, you can go right to the end and achieve anything in life.

Future
|
Nov 07, 2020

It's dangerous to talk too much about future fights.

Focus
|
Nov 07, 2020

The one thing about me is that I keep my personal life away from my sporting life. And, when I am training for a fight, that is my focus.

Important

Nov 07, 2020

My sport will always be important to me.

Like
|
Nov 07, 2020

I was very hyperactive when I was a kid, just misbehaving at school like most kids, and I would probably be 10 times worse at home.

Path
|
Nov 07, 2020

If I hadn't gone towards boxing, I might have been one of those kids getting into trouble. A lot of my friends did. They were clever kids at school, but they just went down the wrong path.

Fight
|
Nov 07, 2020

Even though you think boxing is a contact sport, it teaches you not to fight on the street, to behave. It gives you discipline and self-control.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

You need to have a very strong relationship with your coaches. For me, Freddie Roach is like a father figure.

More
|
Nov 07, 2020

People forget that boxing is the art of self-defence - ideally, hit and not be hit - and maybe we should all think about that a bit more.

Like
|
Nov 07, 2020

We like to entertain, but it is not our duty to do so. I have had a lot of exciting fights and been hit way too much, so that is something to think about.

Fight
|
Nov 07, 2020

If I get the fight against Mayweather, I have no doubt I can go and take it.

People
|
Nov 07, 2020

Mayweather does tease people all the time. He likes to get under your skin. That's what he's like.

Best
|
Nov 07, 2020

You always want to fight the best.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

Mayweather waits for you to make a mistake. He plays a similar game to me.

Come
|
Nov 07, 2020

I've come back from losses and won world titles.

Long
|
Nov 07, 2020

I've been boxing since I was eight, and that's a long time to take punches day after day.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

I understand why my mum and my wife can't bear to watch me fight. There's a lot of blood, a lot of pain.

Good
|
Nov 07, 2020

I have the skills to box and not get into a war. I've been getting punishment I shouldn't be taking because, sometimes, I'm too brave for my own good. When I've got good footwork and movement, I should use them.

Childhood
|
Nov 07, 2020

We grew up in a nice house in a very middle-class area in Bolton and had a very happy childhood. My mum, Falak, who was also brought over from Pakistan by her parents as a kid, devoted herself to bringing up me and my younger brother and sister, Haroon and Tabinda, and my elder sister Mariyah.

Fierce
|
Nov 07, 2020

My grandfather on my dad's side was the first in our family to settle in the U.K. He came from Pakistan on his own in the '60s and worked in a cotton mill in Bolton, earning enough to bring over the rest of his family. My dad, Shah, was only about eight when he came to this country. Like most immigrants, he has a fierce work ethic.

Grateful
|
Nov 07, 2020

The boxing world can be a very lonely one, and I'm so grateful every day to have Dad and my whole family watching my back. It would be unthinkable if I didn't have their support.

Home
|
Nov 07, 2020

As a kid, I was hyperactive and the naughty one in school. I wouldn't listen to anyone and thought I knew best. At home, I was always breaking things and annoying everyone.

Fight
|
Nov 07, 2020

Kell Brook was saying he wants to forget about Amir Khan; he wants to fight Pacquiao and Mayweather. These guys don't know who Kell Brook is.

Make
|
Nov 07, 2020

We're prizefighters. That's what we become. Boxing has one of the biggest purses in sport. And in the sporting field, we probably make the most money.

Nov 07, 2020

You're always just one punch away from getting hurt. But look, if it's going to happen, it's going to happen. I think I'm going to walk out of this sport of boxing when I think it's the right time.

Long
|
Nov 07, 2020

Boxing's not going to retire me; I'll retire from boxing. That's where most people make mistakes. They normally stay in the game a bit too long.

Nov 07, 2020

I've always known that to have anything, you've got to work hard at it.

Face
|
Nov 07, 2020

Floyd Mayweather has fought the biggest names throughout his career and has earned the right to face whoever he chooses.

Nov 07, 2020

Some watches I bought, I think now, 'Why the hell did I pay that much for a watch?'

Drive
|
Nov 07, 2020

I used to have Lamborghinis, Ferraris parked up outside the house - just parked there with no one driving them! Now I'm much wiser, and I only have one car that I drive. What's the point of having three cars just parked up when you don't need them?

Day
|
Nov 07, 2020

I love takeaways. I have at least one or two every day. Burgers, chips, curries, doner kebabs, all sorts.

Charity Work
|
Nov 07, 2020

If I spend silly, it's going to look bad, in a way, because I do all this charity work as well.

Dubai
|
Nov 07, 2020

I have a stake in a company called Super Fight League, which is an MMA company in India, and we have a lot of shows in Dubai, too.

He
|
Nov 07, 2020

I've always been a UFC fan, and I like McGregor and the way he promotes it.

Never
|
Nov 07, 2020

You never know what will happen in the future - I would never say 'no' to getting into MMA.

Fighter
|
Nov 07, 2020

If I look at my career financially, I think it's one of the best careers any fighter's had.

Great
|
Nov 07, 2020

Boxing's a business, and I've got a great team around me who have been looking after me in that sense.

Nov 07, 2020

I'm always strong. I'm tough.

Lot
|
Nov 07, 2020

I eat a lot of takeaways.

Like
|
Nov 07, 2020

Khan
|
Nov 07, 2020

I looked up to cricket players such as Imran Khan.

Mistake
|
Nov 07, 2020

You have to be confident when you've got someone in front of you who wants to beat you and take the title from you. But I think people mistake my confidence for arrogance or cockiness.

Look
|
Nov 07, 2020

There are a lot of fighters with no family support, but your family are honest with you. Look at the types who were around Mike Tyson. They are not going to tell you when you are wrong; they'll just call you the champ.

Family
|
Nov 07, 2020

The thing is, I'm never scared. It's just in the blood, really. My family come from a warrior clan background, the Rajput tribe from the Punjab, and that could be one of the reasons. Going into fights just seems normal to me.

Household
|
Nov 07, 2020

I grew up in a loving household.

Know
|
Nov 07, 2020

I know for a fact if I were a white English fighter, maybe I would have been a superstar in Britain - and the world.

Proud
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm proud to be British.

Community
|
Nov 07, 2020

I try to fix things between the Asian community and the English community. There are always going to be racial things there, not getting on with each other and stuff. I have tried to break that barrier.

Other
|
Nov 07, 2020

I respect other religions and other cultures.

Name
|
Nov 07, 2020

I want a super-fight with a massive name, and I'd love it in a stadium.

Fighter
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm an orthodox fighter, relaxed, fast, and powerful. And I've got good footwork.

Country
|
Nov 07, 2020

My main priorities were to fight for Britain. Not a lot of Asians get selected for this country at anything, and it's a great achievement.

Feel
|
Nov 07, 2020

I did have a chance to box for Pakistan, but I've lived here all my life, gone to school; all my coaches and everyone's here, and I feel English.

Gold
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm confident I can take the gold in Beijing.

Bad Press
|
Nov 07, 2020

All the bad press I was getting puts you on a downer, so really, you come to a stage where you start hating yourself, in a way, because you're not in control.

Changed
|
Nov 07, 2020

Boxing changed my life twice.

God
|
Nov 07, 2020

Religion was very influential because when it got really bad, and you don't know who to turn to, but I turned to God and was praying and meditating, that really helped.

Legend
|
Nov 07, 2020

Of course I will turn professional at some stage. Then I want to be a world champion and finish up a legend and be out of the sport by the time I am 27.

People
|
Nov 07, 2020

It's got difficult for me to walk down the street without people stopping me to ask for an autograph or to talk to me about boxing.

Music
|
Nov 07, 2020

I've been to so many dos and presentation dinners and TV shows. I've been among all the top stars - soap stars, people from music - it's been brilliant. But I've kept my feet on the ground.

Friends
|
Nov 07, 2020

If I get a bit big-headed, I get a good clip round the ear from my family and friends. I'm still the same person.

I Am
|
Nov 07, 2020

I want to retire from boxing by the time I am 25 or 26 and be a legend by that age.

Life
|
Nov 07, 2020

I don't want to get punched all my life.

Nov 07, 2020

I think it is very important to keep the kids off the street and out of trouble.

Best
|
Nov 07, 2020

I always said as an amateur that I'd want to one day fight and beat Kindelan because he was the best out there.

Good
|
Nov 07, 2020

I look out there, and I see that Floyd Mayweather stands head and shoulders above everyone else. He's another fighter I would like to base myself on because he's got incredible fast hands and feet. He's flashy but, man, is he good.

Fight
|
Nov 07, 2020

Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik Morales are the guys I want to base myself on. They fight with their whole heart and with such work-rate. They just don't stop punching. I want to be like that - never boring.

Down
|
Nov 07, 2020

I came back from the Olympic Games, and straightaway, I'm this role model. So that means I can't mess around with my mates like I used to because, if I do, people are going to use it to knock me down.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

King chiller. That was me.

Boxing
|
Nov 07, 2020

There were no Asian lads boxing when I started.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

I've been working a lot on my lateral movement, and angles - it's coming natural to me now - and on different techniques, keeping my hands right.

Game Plan
|
Nov 07, 2020

People come into fights against me and say this and that, but when they realise how quick and how hard I hit, their game plan disappears.

I Am
|
Nov 07, 2020

One thing for sure is that I am not going to attempt to knock Barrera out. My boxing ability and my speed are the attributes that will get me the win.

People
|
Nov 07, 2020

I know people didn't think I'd become a world champion - even people probably in my own camp, my own team, didn't think I'd become a world champion this quickly.

Man
|
Nov 07, 2020

The Prescott fight made me change from a boy to a man: it took me out of my comfort zone because when you lose a fight, you look at the mistakes and everything. That is what happened. I've changed from a boy to a man.

Over
|
Nov 07, 2020

If you start throwing eight or nine shots, you're going to get caught - bang - and the fight could be over.

Fighter
|
Nov 07, 2020

I want to thank Kotelnik for letting me have a shot at the title. I'm so confident I'm going to beat him. He thinks that me moving up a weight, I won't be as strong, but I'm very strong. I'm a hard-hitting fighter.

Become
|
Nov 07, 2020

My ambition from day one in this sport has been to become a world superstar.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

I want people talking about me as a great fighter - from being a prospect with the big pressure as soon as I turned professional, then going on to win the world title.

Nov 07, 2020

I've won the world title - what I've dreamt of since the age of eight.

Fight
|
Nov 07, 2020

That's boxing - one punch can win a fight.

Fighter
|
Nov 07, 2020

What happened to me against Prescott didn't make Prescott a better fighter than me.

Lion
|
Nov 07, 2020

People always want to see that, the young lion going to take the old lion out.

Gym
|
Nov 07, 2020

As an amateur, we used to fight people from the same gym. You'd spar with each other and then fight each other in championships.

More
|
Nov 07, 2020

When you drop weight, the closer you come to the fight, the more your muscles tighten up.

Mother
|
Nov 07, 2020

Whose mother wants to see her son fight? It's very hard for her - but boxing is in my blood.

Better
|
Nov 07, 2020

The good thing about being nervous is that you perform better.

Career
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm very experienced in four-round fights because of my amateur career, and I've got a high work rate.

God
|
Nov 07, 2020

In America, they treat me like God.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

Only
|
Nov 07, 2020

I can only say that sometimes skin colour does make a difference.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

Straight after the Prescott fight, people were saying, 'He's finished. He's not going to come back.' There were only racial remarks made. But, you know what, it made me stronger. It made me come back even stronger. It made me a better fighter.

Easy
|
Nov 07, 2020

I used to eat what I want, on a junk diet, and used to think I could make my weight easy and kill myself over the last four or five days.

Boxing
|
Nov 07, 2020

Boxing is an addiction.

Been
|
Nov 07, 2020

I have been very lucky with what I have achieved.

Goals
|
Nov 07, 2020

It's just such an addictive sport. Only now I can understand why ex-fighters come back. That addiction helps me set new goals and targets.
