Defeat is tough.

Styles make fights.

Badou Jack is a puncher, but so am I.

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

No. 1 in the world is the ultimate goal for me.

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

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

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

Boxing is a part of my life but it's only a small part.

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

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

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

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

I believe 168 is my division and I'm willing to take on all-comers.

I'd love to fight in America - Vegas - I'd love to fight at Anfield.

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

I want the big fights, I want the big names, fights that will motivate me.

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

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

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

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

It would clearly revolutionise boxing if we could have a tournament in every division.

You can be world champion, but ranked No 6 in the world, with there being four champions.

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

I go to the gym, do my work, go home, switch off. It's just the way I like it, to be honest.

I want to see how good I am, and the only way to do that is to fight the best in the division.

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

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

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

I've got a height advantage over everyone but when they do get at me I can fight just as well inside.

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

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

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

I've been working on my power, obviously I do my strength work, I'm learning the technical things as well.

I turned pro to be a world champion. Obviously that's the first goal, but I want to be the best in the world.

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

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.

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

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

It's very rare in British boxing that you have two fighters who are both undefeated and who are both world champions.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

You can win a world title now ranked as seven, eight or nine in the world, and say you are a champion, because you have a version of it.

When I left school I went to college and then I remember doing three weeks labouring for someone and it was the worst three weeks of my life.

If I can't get a unification fight, then there's other tops names, even though they haven't got a world title, ie Golovkins, stuff like that.

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.

I'm a big believer that, if you're good enough, then why wait around fighting a load of journeymen for a few years? If you're good enough, then step up.
