Politics is comparable to boxing. The only thing is that in politics there are basically no rules. In boxing, you can get a black eye, but in politics you can get poison in your food or a bullet in the head. It's definitely rougher and tougher than other sports.
The first thing I learned in boxing is to not get hit. That's the art of boxing. Execute your opponent without getting hit. In sports school, we were putting our hands behind our backs and having to defend ourselves with our shoulders, by rolling, by moving round the ring, moving out feet.
All the champions - you go and ask Mike Tyson or Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Lennox Lewis and myself included, and I'm sorry for putting myself in line with all the other great names - but the champion's attitude is it doesn't matter who is in front of me, I am going to conquer this person and win the fight and knock the person out.
It is incredibly difficult to adjust to such a little fighter. Mormeck is similar to Mike Tyson, he is just a little still faster.
I think that boxing is actually not as dangerous as the politics. In boxing, you're gonna get a bloody nose or a black eye. In politics you can obviously get either dioxin in the food or bullet in the head.
You have to learn the opponent psychologically inside out and mental strength is one of the important makers. You're either gonna break it or make it.
I Was Psychologically Sick For 3 Days Afterwards.
I prepare for my fights to well that I don't wanna give a chance to my opponent to crash my 'glass chin' as they say, so I'm knocking them in the way that I like.
It was like a musician playing notes. Everything we trained worked.
When people are tipsy, they're really encouraged and they wanna prove they can do something to the Heavyweight champion.
Sometimes it's boring because it takes time, but it's enjoyable. So beating up people for a living is really fun.
There's certain things that you cannot cross, no matter who you are, what you're doing or where you're coming from.
I will teach you how to behave yourself in the ring.
The man wannabe actually...a wannabe. David Haye's a wannabe.
