I'm definitely an active champion. I'm looking forward to defending my belt as many times as possible.

I'm the guy who has everything it takes to be heavyweight champion of the world. It's not just about being great inside the ring: it's about being able to do great things outside of the ring. Not everyone has that. I love to be out there with the people.

Working with one of the best strength trainers in the world, I'm getting more dangerous. I'm getting stronger and stronger.

This is no game. You get up in there, and you take some punches. You risk your life, and then let me see you talk then. That's why I don't respect people who criticize fighters.

I was raised by both parents up to 17. We had a good family. We had a middle class family, good teaching and good surroundings, raised by the church, where I went every week whether I wanted to or not.

I still think about the first time I met Lennox Lewis, and he took the time out to talk to me, and he showed me different techniques. I'll never forget. Lennox was one of those guys that set the standard. He's a hard act to follow. But I love a challenge.

I don't just rely on my right hand when I'm in the ring. That's the least thing I think about. I think about the preparation I've trained for, and I try to execute. And guys can't stand up to the power. I've been blessed with that, and it's something that can't be taught.

My daughter will find some of the sweetest words to tell you that can make a grown man cry. She still gives me the same inspiration. She still motivates me.

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

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

I could put everything I got in the bank on my abilities and skill and will, and what I'm capable of doing in the ring.

When you have a fighter willing to do that, when he is seriously hurt and in pain but still fights, you've got a dangerous man on your hands.

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