Quotes from Kell Brook

There's a lot of politics in boxing and it's destroying the game.

I'm gutted, devastated that in front of my own fans I've lost my belt.

I've got all the attributes. I've got the sharpness. I've got everything you need to be a top fighter.

You need to be a complete fighter - the heart, the chin, the toughness. You've got to have it all.

Being able to adjust - to any fighter, no matter what pressure he can give me - I'm going to show I can do all that.

I want bigger fights. Amir Khan doesn't want to listen to me. Why? It's getting boring.

I have had some dark times, it was a frustrating 2019. I was pushing for the Terence Crawford fight but, through no fault of my own, I did not get any of the big fights I wanted.

When you win everything is great but when you're losing nobody wants to know you - except for the people that really love you.

The toughest time was lying in a Tenerife hospital with no-one speaking English, next to a window with the sun beating down and my leg tied up, thinking I would never box again or even walk again. It took every bit of shine off winning the world title.

Looking out the window and seeing the MGM and Floyd Mayweather takes me back to when I was a kid. Those were the places you'd hear about, the ones that staged big fights and top fighters. You always want to one day fight there yourself.

If someone said to me you can get five million quid, a world title, fight at Wembley with a fight that every fan wants to see, it's a no-brainer for me.

I believe in God, Almighty. I'm a Christian.

I'm after people that want to fight, who are the real people. The real fighting men, that's what I want to deal with.

I got a bit down, depressed and fat, but I needed to be out of the game to realise I need boxing.

There have been some dark times. But what I've realised is that I love this sport.

I'd like a big fight in America, it would cap off my career in a great way.

I'm a young lion and I believe I can be one of the greats.

I trust the team around me to guide my career in the right direction, I just do the fighting.

It's depression. You can't put it into words. You get stuck and time passes by. I'm stood there on the edge of a cliff, can't go back and can't go forward. Days go by. I'm still in the same place. Everyone else's life goes on, but you're stuck. You try and try and try and I don't know how, but you came out of it eventually.

This has been a dream of mine since I was a kid... I'm passionate about being a world champion, believe me.

Two-time world champion - that's my goal.

I'm a world champion, I've beaten everyone I've been in with and I want to test myself.

Timing beats speed and I'm very strong at my weight.

If I can't beat DeLuca, how can I say I want to fight the elite of the sport, rematch Errol Spence or fight Terence Crawford? There's no point and I don't have the right to call for world titles. No - I have to win.
