It was rough growing up but it was best for me, it's what made Shannon Briggs, it's who I am.

In memory of Muhammad Ali I will be knocking out David Haye in one round.

Naysayers have been saying stuff my whole career.

The goal is to be heavyweight champion of the world.

I was working for a chef a long time ago who told me to not skip steps or be in a hurry. Success in a kitchen is more like a marathon and less like a sprint. Rising up the ranks too quickly isn't necessarily a good thing. This advice was from a guy who was sorry he had done that and didn't want me to do the same.

Being a Williams is not easy in this business because the bar is set very high to achieve success. Daddy set some high standards for all of us.

Alistair made my goals feel more achievable. I remember him competing for Great Britain when he was 15, and he came back with his GB kit. I thought, 'Wow, I want a part of that.' Sportsmen can seem distant, like superheroes. Seeing my brother achieve that made me think I could, too.

Writers, as they gain success, feel like outsiders because writers don't come together in real groups.
