“Thank you very much and try and be authentic. Be yourself. That's all we can really be. I mean, there's no point in pretending to be anyone else or trying to be something that you're not because ultimately in the end, your colours will come shining through and you will see who you are. So thank you very, very much. It's been an absolute episode and a half coming here, seeing your environment. And finding out about you as well. You've done amazing to come from the background, you've come from and to do what you should be very proud of yourself.”

“Side, he gave me, he shook hands with me. He said, Can I show you something? Right outside, and I just pulled up outside. Of course you can't man. I said, fire away. I said, stop believing I'm someone special. He says, don't look at this. He just showed me a picture on his social media. I have no idea what the guy's name was, but he says, look at that. He said, there's hope for all fat kids. And it was a picture of me after I just beat up David Hay. And it was a picture on his Instagram that was posted months ago, but he showed me and said, thank you so much for your support. I appreciate that. If that can't show you, I can be achieved and nothing can't that's all I am. That gives you. Who never gave in, who never gave up and always believed in himself, if I can do it, so can everyone else watching this?”

“No, money doesn't mean much to me anymore. It's like fame. Fame is just an expectation. Fame is just an intrusion of privacy. That's all as it is. It doesn't mean anything. Tell people all the time. Social media is the biggest problem we're dealing with because it's showing everyone the destination and no one the journey. Everyone just sees no one sees where you came from. No one sees this point up here and this point down here. No one sees that uphill struggle, the fight to get where you need to get the hours of determination, of work, of graft, of all the stuff you put in. No one sees that journey. And if I could have that money and show that, it would be more in showing people the journey. That's what I would use that money for. Show people the show everyone that they're capable of everything I've done. I tell this to people all the time, I am no one special. Guy just stopped me out.”

And it was only until I achieved my goals of becoming world champion that. And then it was a dream before I was world champion. I was chasing a dream and a goal. When that goal was achieved, I actually thought. I'll leave boxing alone. I didn't think I'd give it 100%. When I became financially secure, I then realized it wasn't the dream.

“No, I didn't tell her he was next. I told her my career is now all about money. It's no longer about my selfish need and wanting to become world champion.

So, you know, I went through the worst time in my whole entire life at that stage and I just packed up and fucked off.”

“I'd never ever been, it's still to this day, it's the hardest I've ever been hit. He hit me so hard with 16 ounce gloves on the head guard. It made me back leg kick out like a donkey out of nowhere. And it always stuck at me, but I took it. I didn't go down. I should have went down. I still don't notice the day how I didn't. But I took it, said some good shot. And I always remember the look in his face of, how the fuck are you still standing? And that look and then me being able to go at him and put it on him stuck with me forever and then me dropping him later on in the sparring session let me know even though he said he should have given me a thousand pound david you'll always owe me that thousand pound if you drop david you got a thousand pound and cash of adamburgers coach at the time i didn't get it because he said it was his leg he had a hamstring problem that's why he went down an absolute bollocks i put him down on one knee he still owes me a grand”
