DEONTAY WILDER

People who know me know that if I say I'm going to do something, I'm doing it. I am hungry. I am determined.

I had a lot of great moments with David Haye.

I will be that guy to change this sport, especially in the heavyweight division. A lot of people have lost interest. I'm the right man for the job... I want to make it bigger and better than it ever have been before.

Size doesn't mean anything - not all the time.

I'm one of the baddest, hardest-hitting heavyweights in the business. Right here from Alabama, baby.

We know Fury likes to entertain and promote.

I definitely got into a lot of fights when I was a kid. I never understood it. I was one of those quiet kids. I never picked with no one.

I'm not playing around in 2016.

My neighborhood was normal. I had a neighborhood where everyone knew everyone. Typical American upbringing. Sometimes we got into trouble, but everyone watched after each other, so if my parents didn't see me making trouble, another family would tell them.

People can be too harsh, especially with social media. It brings a person down.

Tuscaloosa, Alabama - I love you.

No matter how many fights I got into, I was always the victor. I didn't like it, though. I remember being 12 years old, and I looked in the sky, and I said, 'God, I don't want to fight no more. I'm tired of fighting. I know what I want to do in my life, and fighting's not going to get me there.'

When they throw punches, the breathing, the sparring. The heavy bags being hit. All of that - it was a heavenly sound to me.

I'm not going nowhere, no matter who I fight.

My goal is to unify the division. Whoever's got those belts, that's who I want.

When I structured my career, I looked at Muhammad Ali, which is my all-time favorite and an idol of mine, and what he has done for this sport. He was a real-life hero.

I am very comfortable travelling and going into other territories.

There's no other heavyweight in the division like me, especially when it comes into the athletic department. I'm the most athletic heavyweight in the division.

Street fight, you just ground and pound 'em. Boxing is totally different.

There comes a time when you have to put forth the action and actually see whether you're really just talking to promote yourself, just to sell yourself, or to build your confidence or build confidence around you... or are you the real deal?

I think Joshua has been doing a good job winning his fights and beating the guys in front of him. You got to congratulate him for his success.

I don't know how a man can live with himself to get to the top knowing he didn't do it the right way.

When I was up in college, I had a friend, and he was the only guy who knew I wasn't going to be able to attend school no more because I had a child on the way. I remember we was right at the lunch table. I was like, 'Man, I should start boxing.' I felt like every fighter that's on TV made a lot of money. I was like, 'You gotta make a lot of money.'

Going to Russia is going to be nothing for me. I'm going to treat it like it's the U.S. because, at the end of the day, it's one man, one ring.

Whether somebody think badly of me, whether somebody don't feel that I should be doing this or I should be doing that way, I don't really care. Whether they think that my fatigue is being laid, legs are skinny, I don't care.
