On postponements and vs Povetkin:
“It’s just pissing me off. Next time it goes, I’m going straight for the jugular. I’m not trying to spend no more extra time with this guy or in this fight. Get my belts so I can go home.”
Dead by 30:
“The amount of times I’ve been shot and stabbed and the kind of lifestyle I was living. Even when I was a young kid starving without food to eat. It doesn’t give you much of an outlook on life. You just keeping going until you’re dead. There was days when I wanted to give up but thank God, I didn’t. I kept pushing forward and kept on defeating obstacles after obstacles after obstacles. Don’t get me wrong, it’s stressful and it’s hard and it’s difficult, but it’s easier for me to give him credit, dust myself off and do it again. I can beat this guy.”
On Deontay Wilder:
“The thing with Wilder is when legally he should have given me a chance, he didn’t. Now he ain’t got nothing. Why should I give him a chance? Obviously I want to fight the guy. I’d like to smash his face in. But there’s other cats out there we can fight and who deserve it. Let’s see. If it makes sense, I don’t really care. But there is principle to it. Let’s see. He says he wants to fight me but there’s no sign of him fighting anyone. He may not fight again, one loss might finish him. He knows he lost to Fury the first time as well, so he might think he’s not good enough.”
“The guy does weird things and says weird things. He spends more time making twerk in videos then he actually does boxing stuff. The guy is a crazy guy. Boxers are crazy.”
How it could go off against Wilder if they are matched:
“We have a lot of history for it to potentially go off. Security would have to be ready to stop it and it would probably still go off. He says some crazy stuff. If he said the same crazy stuff he said to other guys, I’m looking to swing straight away. Some stuff he says, I’ll end up doing something to him.”
