- Lion
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In boxing, it is about the obsession of getting the most from yourself: wanting to dominate the world like a hungry young lion.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
America is the mecca of boxing, and they've had some great champions here. It's good to establish your skills and let people know what you're about in the States.
- Fight
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's not so much about conquering Madison Square Garden or Vegas. The opponents who I fight will take me all around different venues and arenas. I need to conquer opponents.
- Today
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Don't worry about the title. Worry about what you've got to do today, tomorrow, the next day, and that title will be waiting for you.

Prayer is a method practised from ancient days, so it's very important for us to maintain a spiritual connection, something that people, gladiators would do years ago, so we're just maintaining that routine.

I don't have a preferred religion - I'd have to do research. I was born a Christian, but as I've grown into my own man, I don't attach myself to a religion - 100 per cent, I have faith. Then it's locking into what suits me.
- Everyone
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
This is boxing, not tennis. Everyone likes a bit of rivalry, it makes for a good fight.
- Focus
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I kind of focus on my own stuff, really, and then when people come into my territory, I've got to fight them away, and that's what we do every time fight night happens.

- Nov 07, 2020
People say of every opponent, 'When are you going to knock him out?' But I'm not like Mike Tyson, who came flying out of his corner. I'm much more composed. A guy is supposed to be durable, but then I start finding my range, and, well, it comes together. Boom.
- Home
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I became so disciplined when I was on tag. I would be at home by eight o'clock, and because I had boxing, I lived the disciplined life. I started reading because I learnt that so many champions educated themselves. Joe Louis, Mike Tyson, Bernard Hopkins. Before, it was 'act now, think later' - but the discipline and reading changed me.

- Nov 07, 2020
People who do crime do it for reward. But you end up in jail - that's no reward. Through crime, your ambitions are low.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
What makes a champion great is how he dethrones the guy before him. Look at Mike Tyson against Trevor Berbick and how he crushed him. You have to rip the title away from him.
- Positive
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Religion is supposed to be a positive thing when you look at the true religions around the world, not the fundamentalists. You always have to go with what your spirit tells you, not what people advise you. I'm a man that will always follow my own path.
- Nothing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There's so much pressure on becoming the next Muhammad Ali or Mike Tyson, and if you don't achieve that in boxing, you're nothing.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I still feel I am that 14-year-old kid, hungry and trying to find a way through life. That's what I'm trying to develop, trying to be good at something through boxing. But I feel like that young kid who's trying and trying.
- My Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My mum and dad aren't together, but she plays a massive part in my life. We have deep conversations: I tell her where I need support, where I feel she's lacking, and I support her with whatever she needs. I understand she won't be here forever, and I want no regrets.
- Health
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I know every fight could be my last fight, and if that happens, that's not just a health issue, but I'll be knocked off that king's stool.
- Eyes
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am nice, yeah. I'm cool. But I'm no push-over. And if someone gets one over on me, they've done it when my eyes were closed, and it doesn't happen twice.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's hard to say I don't like being famous, but how I feel is that I don't see myself as that person. It baffles me that people would want a picture with me.
- Man
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
People have built me up to be untouchable, unbeatable, invincible, and I'm not that. I am a man, and I am a winner, but that can change in a second.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When you are caught with a big shot, you don't really feel it. It's like being in a car crash, and maybe your arm has been ripped off... it is only when you look down at it that you realise it has happened.
- Floyd
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I used to drink. I didn't like reading, but I discovered the benefits of it. I read that Floyd Mayweather never drinks - and he is the blueprint for boxing.
- Mind
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The mental is more important than the physical. You know, that voice in your head telling you to give up if it gets tough. That's my main opponent - making sure that if your body wants to stop, your mind won't let you.
- Man
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think towards the end of my career, I'm the man. But right now, I've still got that underdog mentality to keep on proving myself time and again. I'm not going to believe the hype.
- Man

- Nov 07, 2020
Cardio is a nice way to start the morning, man. Whether you sit on the bike for half an hour or throw on two jumpers and just sweat, it's good to get up, get the body active, put on your headphones, and just pedal away.
- Fish
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't have a strict diet; I keep it simple. I try to eat fish, meat, veg and carbs - potatoes and rice - but I'll try and pack it in because as I'm burning so much energy. I have to see food as an energy source.
- Night
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'll get seven hours sleep a night, but after breakfast, I'll have an hour just resting, to recover. In Spain they all have siestas, even businessmen.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Sleeping is like meditation: it's good to rest the body but also to shut the mind down for a bit.
- Everyone
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There are two types of warriors: the one that rides through on his horse and tries to slay everyone, and the sniper. I try to be more like the sniper. Bang. Bang. Bang. Break them down, shot by shot.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Sportsmen just do what they do. I'm not trying to be a role model. If there's any inspiration people can take from me, take as much as you can - from my good and my bad.
- End
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Just set yourself a goal and try and stick to it. Because you'll always end up better than where you started.

Am I feminist? I don't know. I'm not really sure what that is. I am all up for equality to a certain extent, although in the home, I do feel this is where the mother excels and the man needs to step back a bit. My family is from Nigeria, and this is our culture.
- Legend
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Ali was a legend of our sport. For me as a kid, he inspired me to represent myself like a champion in and out of the ring.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I know if I don't look after myself, I will be talking to you in a couple of years' time mumbling my words and slurring. It won't be because I am drunk: it will be the fighting, taking blow after blow to the brain. That scares me. I don't worry about being killed in the ring; it's losing my mind that I fear.
- Art
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It takes a certain type of man to become a boxer, to fight for a living. To be able to have the confidence to hit another man, to control your fears. You must overcome the psychical aspect and believe in the art, the discipline of the sport. You need to study. You need to be smart.
- Control
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For me to have a cheeky little biscuit, it's not going to hurt. But I need to control those indulgences. I can't just be scoffing cakes and biscuits five nights a week.
- Go Home
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The way I meditate is by being organised. I can get real Zen if I go home and tidy the front room.
- Gym
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I can be the nice family man at home, and then when I go to the gym, maybe sparring with someone, I switch into beast mode. It ain't pretty.
- Matter
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
No matter how big and strong you are... even Tyson said he was scared as hell walking to the ring. Everyone feels the pressure.
- God
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You're confident, you're going to the ring to fight, but there's always that little thing where you're thinking, 'God.' You're nervous. But you have to embrace it and enjoy it.
- Someone
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Cut your arms and legs off, and you're left with a trunk, which you need to be as strong as possible. It's easier to push over someone who is tall and skinny than someone short and stocky. That's why we work everything from the calves to the neck.
- Boxers
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
From the neck up is where you win or lose the battle. It's the art of war. You have to lock yourself in and strategise your mindset. That's why boxers go to training camps: to shut down the noise and really zone in.
- Determination
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was raised well. My parents are from Nigeria; their culture is respectful. Very respectful. But I learnt that you have to be determined. It's not violence or aggression. It's sheer determination.
