“Why am I coming back? It’s been well documented what’s happened to me since the last time I’ve been in the ring. I’ve been looking after myself a bit better and getting fitter and that’s how it started.
“I don’t want to be fighting at four or six-round levels — I want to fight for world titles. It’s about more than money, this comeback. I want British boxing to be proud of me again.”
“People say nice things about me but they don’t know what’s been going on in between my ears. – I didn’t want my career to end that way. (Pacquiao loss)
