Frank, you deserve a knighthood, or maybe even Lord of the Rings.

Irish television & radio presenter

I love boxing. Where else do two grown men prance around in satin underwear, fighting over a belt? … the one who wins gets a purse… they do it in gloves. It's the accessory connection I love.

American comedian

Boxing is a great exercise… as long as you can yell 'cut' whenever you want to.

(1946 – ) American actor

It’s just a job; grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand… I beat people up.

If you even dream of beating me you'd better wake up and apologize.

Before the first Tyson fight, Frank Bruno figures to be the biggest British disaster since the Titanic. Las Vegas will bet you even money Bruno doesn't last the first round. He's 7-1 to lose, 6-1 to get knocked out, he's probably 7-5 to get killed.

(1919 – 1998) American sportswriter

Anyone who studied McCall's contribution to the fight would not have been surprised that he failed to hit a sample tube with the required amount afterwards. Bruno, of course, had no such trouble. He is well used to having the piss taken out of him by his fellow countrymen.

I don't want to fight no Mexican roadsweepers no more.

A re-match with Eubank is not in my plans. I'm not interested in him because he's got nothing I want… except a Harley-Davidson motorbike.

Brian London possesses the most unbeautiful face – it looks as if it, at one time, fell apart and was reassembled by a drunken mechanic.

English broadcaster, journalist & author

I'm not Mother Teresa. But I'm also not Charles Manson.

Don King dresses like a pimp and speechifies like a store-front preacher.

boxing writer

I was once knocked out by a Mexican bantamweight – six of my pals were swinging him around by his heels at the time.

(1950 – ) American boxer & actor

There are three things that go on a fighter, first your reflexes go, then your chin goes, and then your friends go.

1922 – 2006) American boxing champion

If I fought Evander [Holyfield] with a baseball bat, I would win the fight… but it would be by decision.

He's got a cut on his left eye… it's just below his eyebrow.

British sports commentator

Boxing is built on bums. How else are you gonna know good from bad? How else is a good boy gonna get on top and get experience unless he fights bums? I tell ya, there's a shortage of bums.

Boxing manager & promoter

I’m going down so often these days you’d think I was making a blue movie.

English boxer

Lennox Lewis has two chances of getting a rematch with McCall – no chance and slim. And slim has just left town.

(1931 – ) American boxing promoter
