With me being a sportsman and being an icon who people know, if I can even send a little message across which will maybe help a lot of people, I'm going to do that.

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

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.

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.

I'm proud to be British.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Boxing changed my life twice.
