“I love this game so much. I fear nobody. But to beat Mike Tyson is to take the fight to him. I respect his power. He has tremendous power. But I got tremendous power too. But when I hit Mike Tyson, he is going to think the whole of Ireland has hit him.”
“I watched him in Cleveland at my last fight. He's tough, strong and fast but I'm up for the challenge. I respect the man but once you've beaten Mike Tyson these guys don't hold any fear for me. Once I've won the title I'd love to get in there with the Beast and take his belt as well.”
