I watched him in Cleveland at my last fight. He`s tough, strong and fast but I`m up for the challenge. I respect the man but once you`ve beaten Mike Tyson these guys don`t hold any fear for me. Once I`ve won the title I`d love to get in there with the Beast and take his belt as well.
That`s the rough tactics of boxing. But I`m a bigger, stronger man. I`m just coming into my prime. I`ve got a lot more to offer boxing now.
I love this game so much. I fear nobody. But to beat Mike Tyson is to take the fight to him. I respect his power. He has tremendous power. But I got tremendous power too. But when I hit Mike Tyson, he is going to think the whole of Ireland has hit him.
I appreciate the support, ... This victory moves me closer to my goal to become the first Irish-born heavyweight champion of the world.
I think knowing it`s a student concern will help them find the money a little faster.
This win was for the pride of Ireland, ... I proved everyone wrong tonight.
