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.

Callum Smith

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

World Wise Way

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.

Callum Smith

World Wit Wait

Even with ex-fighters as judges, it doesn't mean they can score a fight, you'd still end up with debate and opinion.

Callum Smith

You Wit Up

I would like to unify and test myself against other champions.

Callum Smith

Would Unify UN

The Olympics are the biggest thing in boxing and the more you do as an amateur, the better deal you get as a pro.

Callum Smith

You Thing Thin

Sleepless nights I'm not a big fan of to be honest.

Callum Smith

To Be Honest T Sleepless

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.

Callum Smith

Up Them Tent

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.

Callum Smith

World Who Want

Badou Jack is a puncher, but so am I.

Callum Smith

UN T Punch

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.

Callum Smith

Work Time Men

I have my own goals, standards and have my own pressure.

Callum Smith

Tan T Sure

I treat every camp the same. Every fight since my debut has always been a must-win.

Callum Smith

Win Ways Way

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.

Callum Smith

Work Home You

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.

Callum Smith

Work Time Very

Listen, I know how good I am, how good I can be.

Callum Smith

Good Ten T

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.

Callum Smith

Teen Age You

I'm a perfectionist and I always want to do the best as possible.

Callum Smith

Ways Way Want

Styles make fights.

Callum Smith

T Styles Style

I want to bring a world title back to Liverpool and I would love to defend my world title in my own city.

Callum Smith

Love Would World

I want the best names in the division. The fear brings out the best performance in myself.

Callum Smith

Fear Want Vision

I'm very thankful people have paid their hard-earned money to come out and watch me.

Callum Smith

There's no praise for scoring a fight right, just criticism for one you get wrong.

Callum Smith

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.

Callum Smith

Any fight I feel pressure, just the same as the last one, the next one will be just as important.

Callum Smith

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.

Callum Smith

I lost in the amateurs, losing a controversial fight that stopped me going to an Olympic Games - and it's not a nice feeling.

Callum Smith

Defeat is tough.

Callum Smith

This sport is so tough and fighters start out with the same goal but very, very few get to achieve it.

Callum Smith

I had a slow couple of years and people forgot about me.

Callum Smith

If I am still fighting at 35 I will be disappointed.

Callum Smith

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.

Callum Smith

I don't know if I will ever be satisfied but I will keep going until hopefully I am.

Callum Smith

When I am retired I will know how good I was.

Callum Smith

We wear 'Autism' on our shorts to raise awareness and show support for other families dealing with autism.

Callum Smith

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.

Callum Smith

I'm proud to be British champion, and I'll defend it until I can get a fight for a world title.

Callum Smith

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.

Callum Smith

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.

Callum Smith

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.

Callum Smith

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.

Callum Smith

Anfield - that's the plan. A fight in my team's ground. Always cherished the thought of that, too.

Callum Smith

Canelo is a special fighter.

Callum Smith

There's a lot of good fighters at 168 with or without Canelo, so I want to test myself against them.

Callum Smith

I am thrilled to participate in the World Boxing Super Series, the Champions League of boxing.

Callum Smith

Every time I step up I win so why not keep going.

Callum Smith

I do believe when I put those little gloves on I can hurt anyone.

Callum Smith

I feel I am getting better and better, hitting harder and getting bigger.

Callum Smith

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.

Callum Smith

Training with the best fighters in the world and getting top coaching - I do feel it improved me a lot as a fighter.

Callum Smith

I dreamed of turning pro as an Olympic medallist but I ended up turning pro as the kid who failed to make the Olympics.
