The most that hurts is I couldn't see my kids growing up. They grow and go. Most of the time, I'm in training camps. I couldn't see that happening. This hurts me.

I do think Briedis will be the toughest opponent I have faced in my professional career. He is 23-0, he's a cruiserweight, and he can punch, and that makes anyone dangerous.

Becoming the heavyweight champion is not what I'm dreaming of - it's my goal. It's what I'm planning to do.

During my career, all my most fruitful victories have been on the opponents' territories, so the support of the British fans to Tony Bellew doesn't bother me a lot.

We had experienced so much as kids, and I kind of feel like we learned a lot about the industry that put a little bit of a bad taste in our mouth, whether it was a couple of people we worked with or whether it was just trying to find the right inspiration or what have you.

Amateurs wait for inspiration. The real pros get up and go to work.
