Quotes from Daniel Dubois

I pretty much know when people are talking rubbish and when they're serious. It's common in boxing, rubbish.

I want to be 100 per cent ready when they call on me and throw me in with the top dogs of the division.

You'll get shown up in the ring if you're not 100 per cent at all times.

I did javelin, swimming, long distance running. But the reason I did these other sports was because of boxing. I didn't want to get sidetracked.

I try and put in a weights section one day a week. I'd go to a different gym and work with a different coach: squatting, bench press, dead lifts. Just basic work. Pull-ups. Ground work. A lot of sit-ups and a lot of push-ups.

When I'm in a ring, I'm there to hurt you. That's the objective in a fight. Your wellbeing is not my concern.

I wanted to defend my British Title but no one would step up to fight me.

I've got world championship potential; I'm out there to be the best fighter I can be.

Against any fighter out there I'd back myself 100 per cent. I don't care who you are, what title you've got. Once we're in the ring I'm just going to perform to the best of my ability, go out and give it all I've got.

I got time, I'm only 21, I've got room to learn and grow as a fighter.

I feel ready to fight all of them now, the very best, including Deontay Wilder, Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte, but I know my dad, my trainer Martin Bowers, and my promoter Frank Warren don't want to rush me through the ranks.

Life as a pro is definitely an individual sport. Thankfully that's how I've always been so I like it that way.

Boxing is full of chances and it's easy throwing a shot, it's about landing it at the precise time.

I can match any of the fastest heavyweights out there and I am ready for a fight.

By the time 2020 comes around I expect to be world heavyweight champion.

So much of boxing is to do with your mental state. Evander Holyfield talks about spirit. I definitely have that spirit and feel like I've got something special inside me. It's about me bringing it out, controlling it and using it to become world champion.

On a week night I'll be with the family. I've got a six-year-old brother, Solomon, he's gonna be a boxer for sure, a world champion in the making. We talk boxing and just bounce off each other's energy.

I definitely like the green belt. That's the best belt in my opinion.

It's pretty much the same routine every day. Come in Monday, bags and running. I like to get a run up in the morning with my brother and my sister and when I come in I'll do another one.

I don't have an iPhone or anything. There's no TV. It's so easy to become distracted.

It's great to win the British title. I wanted to control the fight behind my jab and then land the right hand.

People have just said about me so far that I'm just a big puncher, but I showed that I can command a fight behind my jab, which is the foundation of all good boxing.

I'm not a trash talker, I like to do all my talking with my fists in the ring.

I believe I am world class and it is only a matter of time before I am up there with the big names. I am a man on a mission and not going to be stopped.
