I don't care who's in front of me; nobody is going to stop me from winning the world title.

I've seen Thompson before, as I keep my eye on everyone in the division, as I might one day fight them.

We used tea towels for gloves until we got proper ones and were always breaking our mum's ornaments. She'd come home and find us all sat in our boxer shorts, out of breath and our skin red raw. She hated it.

Growing up with my brothers all boxing has stood me in good stead for nights like these. You should have seen some the fights we used to have in our front room.

From my point of view, I am the underdog going into this fight. I'm not saying I'm not. But I'm the underdog because I haven't fought at that level yet against anyone of Canelo's level.

I'm not going to say I'm not ready for a fighter like Canelo Alvarez.
