I will look for the knockout because that's the way I fight.
Whether it's Alexander Brand or Sergey Kovalev, I approach every situation the same way.
Losing will make me a better fighter.
I really feel that if it wasn't for the accident, I'd still be fighting. I would have handled some of these fighters. I would have made sure that the doctors would have declared me physically sound; and after that, I would have trained.
Travis Browne don't know what's he thinking. Travis, he's out there, man. That guy has been knocked out so many times, he's been rocked so many times, he don't know what to say.
I don't try to knock 'em out, I just know I will
My first reaction to any fight opportunity is yes, just out of instincts. That's why I'm in this sport.
I don't know how people box for a living. I don't know how they can just hurt people for a living and be OK with it.
Everything you want to know about a fighter is in his eyes. The look in his eyes tells the truth.
I don't really think about the title, to be honest with you. I'm just going to go in there and fight. I'm a proud champion, but at the same time I'm not really fighting for the belt. I'm fighting because I love to fight and don't wanna lose and I don't like to lose.
I never go into a fight thinking, 'I have to finish this guy' - that's not a part of my game plan. I go out there and fight the way I fight.
Eddie Alvarez, man, he's a tough guy.
Rankings don't mean much to me but I'm working towards being the pound-for-pound best in everyone's mind.
