Growing up, I was brought up around Irish music, Irish traditions.

I've said a lot of stuff in the past, but not with any intentions to hurt anybody. It's all a bit tongue-in-cheek.

Although I think of myself as the greatest heavyweight, I do respect the legends of the past for what they did. But they are not my heroes.

I aim for the stars, and winning a world title will not be a fulfilment of a dream for me. It never has been.

I have this typical Ukrainian face. Even people who know my music don't recognize me most of the time, thank God.

Over the years as I went through a lot more things, I've gotten closer and closer to God as far as praying a lot more, being into the Word.

The adrenaline is like nothing else. You might be tired or whatever else, but when you get on that stage and see people reacting there's nothing like it. It's a bit god-like - that feeling that nothing can feel better.

Our desires, be they spiritual or temporal, should be rooted in a love of the Lord.
