Chris Eubank, Jr.
I want to be able to prove I can become the same or better than my father.
People ask me 'Are you copying your dad?' It is in my blood. I have got royal blood coursing through my veins. I can't help myself doing what my father did.
I am an entertainer.
There shouldn't be any true malice towards your opponent.
I learned very early on once I started boxing as a kid that if you go into the ring emotionally charged you make mistakes. It's a mental game, it's a chess match, you've got to think, you've got to strategise and make tactical decisions.
I have fought fighters in the past who I don't like as people, but you have to block out any type of dislike or hate. Whatever he's done, whatever he's said, you can't be thinking about that. You just have to see him as a man that you have to outpoint, outgame, and beat on the night.
In the ring I'm a different animal.
I've had the hardest upbringing of any fighter in England.
Having the Eubank name in England brings lots of pressure.
This is no ordinary nine to five day job and I have a 24/7 in terms of my boxing and my career as a professional sportsman.
Vegas is a wonderful place and there are a lot of things going on over there, it's a great place to have some fun, but it is also one of the best places in the world to train and to box.
I don't see a holiday as a time to break from boxing - it never stops.
Any fighter worth his salt wants to be the best and to be the best you have to fight the best.
No man is unbeatable.
So many fighters who fight Golovkin have lost before they've entered the ring.
Saunders didn't beat me. I wasn't battered or shown-up. I made the mistake of not pressing him early, pacing myself too much because it was my first 12-round fight.
There is nothing better to do than to represent your country.
There's only a few people in the country who have as much experience on the boxing scene as my father, especially at world level.
Everyone's entitled to their opinion about my father. Some people think he's a distraction and takes some of my shine away, but, for me, that's not the case.
I'm around my father all of the time, so the things that people see as distracting are things I've seen for years on a daily basis. It's second nature to me.
I look up to my father, he's done what he's done, and I want to emulate his achievements and become as successful as he was. But I have to prove myself to the boxing community and to myself - that's the most important thing.
I was comfortable as a kid growing up. I had everything I needed.
If you look at champions, they came from nothing. That's where they get their drive and determination and hunger. They know they have no other option to succeed, because they had nothing. I had everything.
I was always hugely into sport before I started boxing. I played rugby, football, cricket, athletics, swimming.
Once I realised what boxing was, I understood - this is the ultimate form of competition. Once you box you go back to the football field or rugby and it just doesn't have the same spice.
There was many who had some doubts over me regarding my position in this sport, but I've always believed in myself and that's the way it's always been.
The win over DeGale felt satisfying for several reasons as it proved what I've known all along.
If people knew what I have sacrificed then they'd understand why I put so much into every fight. This has pretty much been my life for as long as I can remember and the work that has been put in to make sure that I become the best fighter in the world means that there can't be no other way.
I see myself as the best fighter in the world and that's because I have to. There can't be any other way. I can't go into a fight with the other names that are around my weight, who want the same as me, and not believe that I'm better than them.
Predominantly training myself for so long worked, I had great success. But if I had someone there training me day-in day-out from an early age? It could have been a whole different story.
I won't look back and say 'I wish I could change things.'
Some people say I'm arrogant or cocky but I'm a down to earth, decent guy.
Anyone with a belt in my weight division I want to fight.
Anyone can look big and strong and fast against weak opponents.
Golovkin is the No 1 name on my list. People put this guy's name so high. But I know I can beat him. I know that I have the tools and the style to take this guy out.
I don't like to give predictions but I am the type of fighter who tries to stop his man every time, and that's why I'm such a fan favourite. People know I do the business.
With my fight style - speed and volume punching - it would be an amazing fight. Golovkin is a come-forward fighter. It would be fireworks, a fight that the fans would enjoy. Because of my style, I would stop him due to the pure amount of punches. Whether it's a cut or he gets tired, stopping him would definitely be on the cards.
I would never put my career on hold for anybody.
I learned a lot from my father.
Anybody with belts, I'm coming from you.
I want the hardest, toughest challenges out there for me.
I would like people to help me support the Chain of Hope which is a charity that is close to my heart who offer life save operations for children in need.
Technically, my fight with Korobov should have been for the full world title, not the interim.
I've been working a lot on my jab.
Just because you are getting hurt doesn't mean you can't come back and win.
The corner is there to help you clean your cuts up and put your Vaseline on, not to throw in the towel.
If the going gets tough, you stay in there and take your beating like a man. That's what we sign up for, and that's all I meant when I said my corner don't throw in towels.
I have trained on and off with Floyd and his father for many years now and I've learned a lot. His work ethic is second to none and it's great being around him and the 'Money Team.'
I've seen the consequences of what can happen when you're unprepared for a fight, or not as prepared as your opponent.Collection: Fighting
