Dillian Whyte

I'll fight Wladimir Klitschko and knock him out if he comes back; I'll definitely knock him out. ”

My dad was trying to prepare me for what he went through as a kid. ”

It was at a gym near Liverpool Street. I came off the street - I was just a kid - and I was just excited about getting to punch someone in the face. ”

There's always something getting in the way - other fights being made or money and politics ruining things - but after I finish Chisora, nobody can deny me my shot. ”

I'd turn up to the gym early and just be there, waiting outside, knocking on the door. It was something I thought I was decent at. I enjoyed fighting; it's how I've always been. ”

I've been written off. But I don't go about crying. Nothing is going to stop me. Not Chisora. We're marching on. ”

I got into a lot of fights. Then I started knocking people out, and they stopped. ”

I was nobody; I showed up to sparring in a white wife beater and Hawaiian shorts. I had plimsolls; I didn't have boxing shoes. It just shows you don't need to have fancy equipment or experience: you're either a good fighter, or you're not. ”

I want a kid to look at me and say, 'You know what, this man had no chance in life, but he stayed in there, and he worked hard. He dedicated himself, and he did it'. ”

I came here from Jamaica as a kid and didn't go to school, really, never had a great education. I was a little bit bad on the street, running around, doing this, doing that, and always getting into trouble. I was completely written off, so boxing has definitely saved my life. ”
