When I'm training, I use heavier crepe for wraps, for protection - but you're not allowed to use them in competition. So when it comes to the fight, the wraps are softer.

My performance against Ruiz was a good one - there were plenty of knockdowns, excitement, and drama.

Winning the title then losing it to John Ruiz... I'd be devastated.

Once I have beaten Mormeck, I don't feel there'll be anything left to prove. After winning the world title, I will be recognised as the No. 1 cruiserweight in the world.

The Olympics are a completely different beast. It's the most magical moment of your career.

My entire career, everybody says I need to punch somebody.

I think that among my friends I'm known as being a hard worker; I think if you want to be an actor, there can't be any compromise. You have to work all day, every day. It's not a 9-5 job. There's always something to learn.

I think Madonna has a great deal of intelligence and capability. I have a lot of respect for her. She's taken her career and maximized it with intelligence and creativity.
