I never think too far ahead.

The Olympics is a dream of mine.

There is an awful lot of pressure on me.

The Bible is my sport psychology manual.

No world championship has been easy for me.

I would have loved to have met Roger Federer.

I could have 10 kids or be boxing until I'm 40.

I love being the favourite of every competition.

I can enjoy myself and express myself in the ring.

Sometimes, the plans in your heart aren't God's plan.

I do a good job of staying positive and just moving on.

Anything other than a gold medal will be disappointing.

Boxing was just another one to keep me going as a child.

Sport is a great way to keep fit. It's a stress reliever.

Mental strength is something you either have or you haven't.

I always feel like the freshest boxer going into competitions.

Definitely, there's a lot of strength in depth in my division.

I'm just sorry I couldn't come home with a second Olympic gold medal.

I never think about losing. That's why it's so hard to accept a loss.

I never went through an easy fight. Every fight has been hard fought.

I think, probably, my best asset would probably be my all round game.

There have been a lot of challenges over the years that I have overcome.

I'm not going to be boxing forever, but I've put no time-cap on it, really.

I'm going to Ibiza with the lads! I’ll probably come back a raging alcoholic.

I think every fight is a tough fight, but I'm not settling for a bronze medal.

I've been offered a few professional contracts... in the hundreds and thousands.

I want to leave a great legacy behind me and continue to win major championships.

I look at what's in front of me. I concentrate on that and then hopefully move on.

I'm in the public eye. I'm recognised a small bit more. That's part and parcel of it.

I'd like to thank everyone for all their support and prayers. I'm so humbled by that.

God is my psychologist. And my dad is probably the best sport psychologist in the world.

I have stayed positiv,e and I believe I am still improving in every competition I enter.

I think it's important to feel those losses because I never want to feel like that again.

Fighting at the Olympics has been my lifelong dream, and I cannot believe I am there now.

I've had losses in my career before, and I've always come back stronger from those losses.

Going to the cinema or a meal can be difficult, with people asking for pictures or autographs.

You're clearing your mind during a workout. Boxing is a great sport for girls; it's really safe.

I don't really change much; there's not much I can do about the judging in front of a home crowd.

I am European Games champion now as well as Olympic champion, European champion, and world champion.

I love all sorts of food, chocolate especially. I eat well, but I like the odd Chinese, like anyone!

I don't even wear miniskirts on a night out, so I definitely won't be wearing miniskirts in the ring.

It's great for my confidence getting a letter saying 'All I want from life, Katie, is you and health.'

I can definitely box on the front foot as well as the back foot. I don't think that's really an issue.

I wouldn't really call myself a feminist. I obviously want equality and equal opportunities to the men.

After I came back from London with a gold medal, my focus straight away was to defend it four years on.

Boxing is the gift I have been given for whatever reason and I'd love to honour God in everything I do.

It's so great to be able to inspire these young women today to get involved in male-dominated subjects.

It doesn't matter who other people are saying the favourite is; I'm still going in to win the gold medal.

People need to get out and do some more exercise, especially children who are stuck inside with computers.

It's so true: the fight is won or lost in the gym, and those words really stuck with me throughout my career.
