I'm a boxer by nature, so, obviously, the jab is always key - but it is nice to know you've got a right hand behind it.

When I was part of McGregor's sparring camp, I struggled to find words to compliment him; I knew he couldn't fight from the first moment we sparred. It's very hard to find nice things to say about his skills. Perhaps his best attribute is his intensity, but he has to do it cleanly.

I have always admired Zab's skills, and his resume speaks for itself.

I wouldn't be surprised if I knocked Ricky Hatton out. It's something that people are going to read and think I'm ridiculous, but if you look beyond what you see with naked eye, every time he gets hit clean, he's hurt.

Guys get hurt in fights. It doesn't mean you stop a fight every time somebody gets hurt.

You need new ways to keep motivating yourself, and creative ways are part of the formula.

At training camp, you brainwash yourself into thinking every,day is the same, no weekends or holidays. It's all the same - a work day. You develop a mental state to just work hard and get ready for the fight.

Preparation in Miami is always good because of the weather.

Sometimes it's kind of strange, and it's definitely something I have to work on in the future, but when I'm big favourite in fights, it's almost like I try too hard and try to force things to happen. That always seems to take a bad turn and makes my performance look bad, even if I win.
