CANELO ALVAREZ

I don't fear anyone. We don't come to play in this sport.

In Mexico, you have to defend yourself and your honour.

Sometimes, once a fight starts, you have to do what you have to do to win.

If I lift any weights, I do it more for explosion, but I really use my body weight to build up muscle and strength.

I do work on a little bit of weights just to get my power up.

I get motivated by the fact people are following me, that they want a photo or say 'vamos' or 'Canelo.'

If other people want to say that I'm the next person in boxing, then that's up to them. That's their opinion.

I do two months of strict dieting, so after fight night, I go for whatever my body is craving. It's usually sushi. But after that, I go home to Guadalajara and indulge in a lot of tacos before I have to start getting in shape for another fight.

I'm a strong-minded fighter.

You always try to fight someone from another country. But having said that, the public knows, everybody knows, when there's two Mexicans in the ring, there will be a war.

My fans are going to support me through thick and thin; 100 per cent, they'll always support me.

Every fight is a different experience.

My preference is not to fight a Mexican.

I'm not worried at all about going to 160 lb.

I want to challenge the best, and I'm ready.

Obviously I'm fast, and I'm going to have to utilize that speed, but I'm also going to have to be smart. I'm also strong, and I have a punch, so I'm going to have to use all my qualities to be able to fight against Angulo, and I just feel whoever's the best prepared that night is going to win.

I don't know a lot about politics.

There are boxing fans, and there are fans of the UFC. People want to see blood, but people like both.

I have to stay calm, cool, and collected.

Fighting Manny Pacquiao in the future - there's possibilities it could happen. But whatever happens in the future happens in the future.

I prepare myself to fight; I prepare myself for myself.

If I can utilise anything, I'll utilise it.

I'm prepared for Amir Khan moving swiftly - or for whatever style he comes out using. I prepared with sparring, in the style similar to what he uses.

I will fight the fight I need to fight to win.

If the people like watching me, see me as an example of someone succeeding, as a young guy who has the will to win, then I'm happy.
