After Chernobyl, thousands and thousands of people, if not millions, were given a death penalty and had to pay the price, our father among them.
My goal is not getting hit and to knock the other guy out. Some people might complain because they want to see boxers beat up on each other, but you cannot last long in professional boxing if you take a lot of punches.
I would say that Roger Federer is pretty amazing. And Manny Pacquiao - he's such a tiny, little lightweight guy, but the way he fights makes people so excited.
These nuclear plants are more dangerous than people realize.
Sometimes it's boring because it takes time, but it's enjoyable. So beating up people for a living is really fun.
When people are tipsy, they're really encouraged and they wanna prove they can do something to the Heavyweight champion.
Exactly this type of people like you, at the beginning you're gonna be shy but later on you're gonna jump on a chair and you will scream hit him!
I don't care where people come from. It is not important to me. If you are good people will like you, if you're not, they won't. It is simple.
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.

He's a fighter with a big, big heart. But he provoked me.
From nothing to everything is a long way, ... From everything to nothing is one stop.
I can fight 12 rounds, no problem, as you can see. I enjoyed the fight.
My height is an advantage, if I want to use it. Short guys have short hands and short feet and they come up quick. Taller guys, they use their advantage. Everyone tries to use their advantages. He's going to have trouble with me. I'm going to win 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.'
