As a boxer I took the liberty of using not only my fists, but also my head.

Vitali [Klitschko] does want to fight me, but his promoter wants to be bigger than him. This is another situation of politics in the sport.

Adversity is something that makes reaching your goals so much more rewarding than if it didn't exist.

It's a very interesting fight [Klitchko vs Tyson Fury] because this is the first time [Wladimir] Klitschko is fighting someone as big as him and with longer arms. He will have to be a little bit more aggressive, otherwise the younger guy will have more speed and more energy and I think that may be the difference.

The media can make boxers, controls who makes it big and who doesn’t. They can build up fighters or knock them down.

A boxer should quit at the top, as they say. But that’s complicated. There are plenty of people in boxing who make money out off you. And they tell you that you’ve still got it, that it’s still getting better.

If you’ve got physical weaknesses, you’ll lose. Nobody who gets cut easily can be a champion, however strong and talented he is. Boxers are trained to see and exploit their opponents’ weaknesses, they hit you on your wounds. Only the strongest survive in this sport.

When I saw Tyson knocking everybody out on TV, I thought, He's goooood. But when I saw him in person, he didn't look as awesome.

If the media didn't know I played chess, there'd be no angle on me at all.

Boxing isn't just about brute strength it's about skill and outwitting your opponent.
Lennox Lewis

Sometimes the image of the intellectual boxer did for me more harm than good. If a boxer has a reputation as an intellectual, some people no longer respect him as a fighter. With me it was always ‘Lennox should react, not think’. But that’s nonsense. Only the guy who controls his opponent wins.

Whatever I do, I always want to get better.

During the past twenty-three years, I have set a number of goals for myself and I’m proud to say that these goals have been achieved.

Now I am ready to set new goals and start a new career for myself outside of the ring.
