I'm not just coming here for a payday. I'm not an old guy at the end of my career looking for a payday. I've got a title to keep.
From Liam Smith
I'm confident a good Liam Smith beats a good John Thompson.
I remember when Joe Calzaghe fought Jeff Lacy, and there was all this hype about Lacy being some sort of unbeatable force, and Joe absolutely hammered him.
I won't watch that Amir fight from now until I fight Alvarez. I'm not a blown up 147 or a Miguel Cotto. I'm a big 154 lb., and I'm coming of age and coming to win.
Before British title fights, I've played football on a Saturday before; it's silly as it is.
When I was 17 or 18, I realised I could do something with boxing.
When I was fighting at a weekend, I would be in when my friends were out. I never had time to go out and go off the rails.
My mum says part of the reason we moved house, it was a rough area at the time, was down to that - they wanted to help me.
If you ask anyone who my mum's blue-eyed boy is, they will say it is me.
Now Mayweather has retired, Alavrez is the biggest name in boxing, and I'm looking forward to pitting my wits against him.
