David Haye

I want to have the same success in my acting career as I did in my boxing career.

When I'm training, I use heavier crepe for wraps, for protection - but you're not allowed to use them in competition. So when it comes to the fight, the wraps are softer.

My performance against Ruiz was a good one - there were plenty of knockdowns, excitement, and drama.

Winning the title then losing it to John Ruiz... I'd be devastated.

Once I have beaten Mormeck, I don't feel there'll be anything left to prove. After winning the world title, I will be recognised as the No. 1 cruiserweight in the world.

I would fight till I'm dead. This is why I am here. I am put on Earth to fight. I feel it deep in my waters.

If you ever need a good steak, Stringfellows is the place to go in London.

People say, 'Where do you get your strength from?' Well, where does an ape get his strength from? They are 20 times stronger than humans, and they don't rely on a meat-based diet. They eat plants all day long. It's a myth that you need meat for strength.

Whenever the Klitschkos pick opponents who punch back, things go pear-shaped for them.

It's the warm-up in the changing room when I switch on. I don't even think about the fight until then. Some fighters are bouncing about the walls, but I switch off. Then it's like someone flicks a switch in me.

When someone unloads on me, I keep my head moving; I don't freeze. I punch back with them. The occasion never gets to me. Not one bit. I enjoy it.

In 2000, I got stuck in the sea off Cyprus after I fell off a boat. I was out there for over an hour. I am not a strong swimmer, but adrenaline kicked in, and I swam back.
