Look what the Rumble in the Jungle did for Zaire. No one had ever heard of Zaire until then. After Muhammad Ali fought George Foreman for the title, no one forgets it.
David Haye
There are no shortcut to losing weight. Just hard work and dedication, hard work and dedication.
People say, 'Where do you get your strength from?' Well, where does an ape get his strength from? They are 20 times stronger than humans, and they don't rely on a meat-based diet. They eat plants all day long. It's a myth that you need meat for strength.
The Hayemaker is a dangerous fellow who, when the bell rings, is on a seek and destroy mission, by any means necessary. No playing around. No comedy. It's just straight-up business.
I've been in the ring with the Bronze Bomber, Deontay Wilder. I've tasted his power, and he's tasted mine.
I'm going to be a movie star, break Hollywood.
You can't hit someone if they're holding on to you.
Even though he's a moron, I supported Tyson Fury.
If you ever need a good steak, Stringfellows is the place to go in London.
I'm too fast, too sexy, and too talented to be blown away by a large, slow robot from the Ukraine.
Even on one leg, I thought I could knock Tony Bellew out. I was gutted when Shane McGuigan threw the towel in.
Muhammad Ali is my hero. Yes, he was the best boxer in the world, but he also put himself on the line. He talked when black Americans had to be quiet.
I spent more than £150,000 on a limited-edition Mercedes SL.
Slowly but surely, as time goes on, people forget about you. People stop talking about you. You stop seeing your name in the papers. I like to believe that I don't think that will bother me. As long as I know I've achieved my goals and people believe I'm the best at what I do, then I'll be happy.
Whatever any boxer does in the ring, I don't think any reporter should call him a coward. Anyone who does that I lose complete respect for. There's a difference between being a coward and being scared, or apprehensive. Different fighters have got different mentalities.
I've got three Bentleys, a couple of Mercs, and two Range Rovers.
Just before a fight, as the ring empties, you can feel it. There is danger and loneliness all around you. Soon it's just the three of you in there: the referee, your opponent, and you. You're in a very lonely moment then. But, strangely, that's when I feel most comfortable. The ring becomes my office, and I go to work.
Bernard Hopkins is one of my idols.
The whole idea behind going ahead with this Chisora fight was that a victory may then lead to a fight with Vitali Klitschko.
It's sad to see boxers sometimes when they've come from these massive highs with thousands of people screaming for them. They're the best at what they do - then, that's it: stopped, finished.
I've had injuries before. They are just obstacles to overcome.
Although boxing is a sport, it's still entertainment. You've still got the fear, press conferences, the stare-downs. It's all an act in some ways. My whole life I've been doing it. I love this side of boxing - as much as the actual fight.
I've got good genes. My dad was a martial arts instructor - and he was good.
Everybody wants me to finally close the curtain on the joke that is the Audley Harrison show.
I eat tall, chinny, Eastern European heavyweights for breakfast.
It's boxing. It's about getting people interested. If I didn't say some stupid things from time to time, there wouldn't be that many people interested in me. But I let my fists do the talking when the bell rings.
I've had a lot of good nights, and ideally, I don't want to be remembered for a bad night.
I have the heart of lion.
I've got no desire to fight Dereck Chisora inside the ring or outside the ring.
I'm good at keeping on top of my emotions and not letting them influence the fight.
Fighting in Germany, Wladimir Klitschko makes so much money for everyone.
In 2000, I got stuck in the sea off Cyprus after I fell off a boat. I was out there for over an hour. I am not a strong swimmer, but adrenaline kicked in, and I swam back.
Mark de Mori is a solid operator.
Arturo Gatti-Micky Ward. Joe Frazier-Muhammad Ali. You get these rivalries in boxing - not that often, so when you do get them, why do you want to sanitise it?
I would love to have gone there, fight at Madison Square Garden or a casino in Las Vegas, but there are no American heavyweights now who can pose a challenge to me.
The bigger the pressure, the sharper I am, the more in tune with my body I am, the better my tactics seem to be. A lot of people crumble under pressure; they do something crazy.
I definitely believe if you give me any part of your chin, you are going to sleep.
When I first went to Fitzroy Lodge, I said I was going to be heavyweight champion of the world and retire when I was 30. This is when I was 10.
I've got a really canny knack for avoiding big punches or clean punches.
If I hit the Klitschkos with the same shots I was hitting John Ruiz, both of them would go over.
It would be nice to crack America, but I need the opponent to do that. If Eddie Chambers is the best American heavyweight they can dig up, it's a very sad state of affairs.
That's what I actually like about boxing: no matter how well you do, you can still have a normal life.
It's always my plan to knock out my opponents.
It's often my opponent's plan to take me into the later rounds, but the amount of damage that has accumulated on them means they don't hear the final bell.
I seem to get the best out of myself when the pressure's on. My senses are heightened. I feel sharper. I do better things.
There is no room for sentiment in a boxing ring.
I would fight till I'm dead. This is why I am here. I am put on Earth to fight. I feel it deep in my waters.
A lot of people say, 'OK, I'm overweight, so I'm not going to eat any food; I'm only going to have an apple a day,' but then your body will go into starvation mode, so what you've got to do is increase your metabolism.
I have always maintained you should be able to bench press and deadlift at least twice your body weight.
Once I have beaten Mormeck, I don't feel there'll be anything left to prove. After winning the world title, I will be recognised as the No. 1 cruiserweight in the world.
