On Rocky Fielding…
“I’m ready to win this fight. I’m going to Fielding’s weight class, to his comfort zone. I don’t know how I’m going to feel, but I’m up for the challenge. I don’t know If I’m going to be slower. He’s taller, stronger. It excites me.”On Floyd Mayweather…
“I heard he might come back, I would love to get that rematch. It will be a completely different story, I heard he wants to come back. That’s the one fight I would like to get!”

On a third fight with GGG…
“If the fans want a third fight, we can make it happen. I truly believe I beat him twice, the second fight even by a wider margin. Those are my feelings, but if the fans demand a third fight we’ll do it. I am up for whatever the public wants.”

On the P4P ranking
“I don’t want to say I’m the best fighter in the world, it’s up to the people, the fans. Whatever place they want to put me in, that’s ok with me. I don’t like to think about it. I can’t tag myself on a list, it’s not up to me. I would be a cocky person if I say this or that.”

On the UFC McGregor-Khabib aftermath…
“I don’t like to talk about it. I’m not the person to judge others, that’s not the way I am. They had their reasons to do it. It’s a contact sport and things get heated so I won’t say anything negative about it.”
