He's a fighter with a big, big heart. But he provoked me.
If he goes down, he is to get up, and continue to fight, until I finish the process.
There's certain things that you cannot cross, no matter who you are, what you're doing or where you're coming from.
The man wannabe actually...a wannabe. David Haye's a wannabe.
It was like a musician playing notes. Everything we trained worked.
I will teach you how to behave yourself in the ring.
I Was Psychologically Sick For 3 Days Afterwards.
I'm boring but effective.
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 have a Ph.D. in philosophy and sports science. At 14, I went through this really tough Soviet training system. A lot of my roommates got psychologically broken or physically injured. Either you came through, or you were out. I made my Ph.D. work in the field of young athletes aged 14-19 because at this age any human is changing.
I can fight 12 rounds, no problem, as you can see. I enjoyed the fight.
My grandmother always told me: 'If you're a man, it's enough if you look a little bit better than an ape.'
I've been many times to Dubai and the U.A.E., and I have friends that live there. It would be exciting to stage world heavyweight championship fights in the Arab world. It's something Muhammad Ali achieved when he fought in Zaire or the Philippines. It's absolutely exciting to fight in countries where you have never fought.
This is the day of days in my sporting career.
