Style-wise, I'm not ideal to fight, but I'm not taking anything away from 'Canelo' Alvarez, he's a special fighter and he's one of the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world for a reason.
Callum Smith
As long as it was George Groves in the opposite corner with his world title, the date was irrelevant to me. I was prepared to wait as long as it took to get that fight for the world title.
Even with ex-fighters as judges, it doesn't mean they can score a fight, you'd still end up with debate and opinion.
I would like to unify and test myself against other champions.
The Olympics are the biggest thing in boxing and the more you do as an amateur, the better deal you get as a pro.
Sleepless nights I'm not a big fan of to be honest.
There's a lot of big fights potentially out there for me, but none of them are possible if I slip up against N'Dam.
It's never been Badou Jack or James DeGale that I want to fight, it's the World title that I want; it doesn't matter to me who it is.
Badou Jack is a puncher, but so am I.
Hassan N'Dam is a very good fighter, he's very experienced and been around a long time. He's got good footwork, very good movement.
I have my own goals, standards and have my own pressure.
I treat every camp the same. Every fight since my debut has always been a must-win.
My mum was always saying when we were kids: 'If you don't do you homework you're not going to the gym.' She was always a big believer in having something to fall back on.
Everyone aims to get close to me and I've got to learn how to be able to cope, and that's what we work on all the time.
Listen, I know how good I am, how good I can be.
I was obsessed with the Turtles, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. There's Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, Raphael and my dad used to call me Callemundo, saying you're the fifth turtle.
I'm a perfectionist and I always want to do the best as possible.
Styles make fights.
I want to bring a world title back to Liverpool and I would love to defend my world title in my own city.
I want the best names in the division. The fear brings out the best performance in myself.
I'm very thankful people have paid their hard-earned money to come out and watch me.
There's no praise for scoring a fight right, just criticism for one you get wrong.
We do need maybe younger or more experienced judges but where you can get them I don't know. It's like in football, who would want to be a football referee? You'd just get criticism all the time.
Any fight I feel pressure, just the same as the last one, the next one will be just as important.
I've been there for every world title fight my family have been involved in. I've been there in the changing rooms. I've experienced the nerves - perhaps more when it's not me and when it's one of them.
I lost in the amateurs, losing a controversial fight that stopped me going to an Olympic Games - and it's not a nice feeling.
Defeat is tough.
This sport is so tough and fighters start out with the same goal but very, very few get to achieve it.
I had a slow couple of years and people forgot about me.
If I am still fighting at 35 I will be disappointed.
When I won the world title, I am not going to lie, it was an unbelievable feeling. It was like a weight off my shoulders, a goal I'd set myself for so long and one others had talked about. When I got there I realised how I am never satisfied and how I always want more.
I don't know if I will ever be satisfied but I will keep going until hopefully I am.
When I am retired I will know how good I was.
We wear 'Autism' on our shorts to raise awareness and show support for other families dealing with autism.
When we all retire it will be the happiest day of her life. She's proud of what we've all done but she doesn't enjoy it. Most mums of boxers only have one to worry about - but she's got four.
I'm proud to be British champion, and I'll defend it until I can get a fight for a world title.
Daniel Jacobs is a big name over in America, which is somewhere obviously I want to get my name bigger, so there are potential big fights out there for me.
I think he's a special fighter, I'm a big Canelo fan, but I think he's a special fighter at middleweight and I think a lot of his advantages he has at that level, he'll lose when he steps up to super middleweight.
I had the one goal to become world champion for so long and now that I've achieved it, I thought that it was the top of the mountain. But now that I'm up there, it's not.
Winning the World title is much more important to me than fighting Groves - but I do believe I have got the beating of him style-wise if it comes off.
Anfield - that's the plan. A fight in my team's ground. Always cherished the thought of that, too.
Canelo is a special fighter.
There's a lot of good fighters at 168 with or without Canelo, so I want to test myself against them.
I am thrilled to participate in the World Boxing Super Series, the Champions League of boxing.
Every time I step up I win so why not keep going.
I do believe when I put those little gloves on I can hurt anyone.
I feel I am getting better and better, hitting harder and getting bigger.
A lot of people say I've got an old head on young shoulders and I think that's because I'd been around boxing for a long time before I actually started doing it.
Training with the best fighters in the world and getting top coaching - I do feel it improved me a lot as a fighter.
I dreamed of turning pro as an Olympic medallist but I ended up turning pro as the kid who failed to make the Olympics.
