First Boxing Memory: “Was when I get in the gym in Montreal and it was my brother who brought me to the gym. He was the Golden Gloves champion. That’s the way I started.”

Inspirations: “Roy Jones was my man. He’s still my man because I’m with him in the up and down. Right now Jones is a little bit down but I’m still a huge fan of him.”

Last Book Read: “That was a book with Anthony Robbins about the mindset. Power Of The Mind.”

Favorite Movie: “Training Day.”

First Job: “I was 17. That was my first one and my last one. I was working in the subway restaurant making sandwiches for people. And I asked for Sundays off because I was supposed to go in the boxing tournament and she said no. So I quit the job.”

First Car: “Was a white Maxima, Nissan.”

Current Car: “I drive – I got many cars – Range Rover, Porsche Cayenne.”

Favorite Meal: “Steak.”

Favorite Ice Cream Flavor: “Vanilla.”

Greatest Sports Moment: “My last fight against Chad Dawson. Because I was the underdog, everybody was telling me, This guy has no chance. But I need to show I belong with the best in the world and I’m going to become myself a legend. So when I won the fight, I said, I told you guys.”

Most Painful Moment: “When I fought the rematch against Adrian Diaconou. I separated my shoulder three times during the fight. The first time was the third round. And I finished the 12 really strong. That was a painful fight. But I never give up. I never quit. And that’s why I’m still the world champion.”

Which Fight Were You At Your Very Best: “My last one against Dawson. Mentally and phsyically I was not 100% but I was 110%.”

Favorite Boxers To Watch: “Roy Jones — though he’s not prime time any more. Roy Jones is my man. It’s because of him that I’m right here talking to you and to be the world champion. And I have a lot of respect for this man, for this boxer.”

Funny Boxing Memory: “When I knocked out my best friend (Anthony Decarie) in sparring with a body shot. That was really funny for me.”

Embarrassing Boxing Memory: “Maybe the first fight in England. I went overseas to fight Carl Froch. I lost. And that was kind of embarrassing to me. But I know that I did good, I went there, gave my best. I didn’t win the fight. But the rematch I guarantee you I’m gonna put up the victory.”

Favorite Sport Outside Boxing: “Back home our national sport is hockey. We won the gold medal in the last Olympics Games. So hockey is my best sport after boxing. (Play?) I’m a former hockey player and I was quite good [smiles]! But I chose boxing instead.”

People Qualities Most Admired: “Honesty. Honesty, to me, is really important in life. And you have to be a good, respectable person.”

On Next Opponent Bernard Hopkins: “I’m fighting not Bernard Hopkins, I’m fighting also a legend. I’m the young lion….Notice he has three F’s in my class. He’s a funny guy, he’s fast, and he’s about to get f****** up.”

Born On: December 23, 1970 In: Cincinnati, Ohio

Childhood Heroes: “Man, I never had a bunch of heroes. KISS – the rock group KISS because my brother liked KISS. Rocky – because I watched the movie Rocky. I mean, I lived in a small village, I think that’s a great attribute of my success – is that I never really had heroes. I had to become my own hero.”

Favorite Movies: “Rocky, Rambo [laughs]. I liked that Enemy of the State, just because I’m all about infiltrating the media and watching how communication just seeps through like a virus, through humanity. Of course, that’s what I do with my message – is infect the human race with it. I like that kinda stuff. Dude, I don’t watch movies, I don’t watch TV. Read, read.”

Hobbies/Interests: “I spend all my time working out, reading Emerson, Nietzsche, Anthony Robbins, Napolean Hill, Deepak Chopra, all the great minds of our time. I spend my time reading and working out, and then putting that into myself, which is communicated right here through myself.”

Musical Tastes: “[He begins to sing and strum his guitar] I’m Naked Cowboy, coming to a town near you. [Talking again] I don’t listen to radio, only listen to my stuff. Everything I do is literally outside the scope of what humanity is doing.”

Childhood Dream: “I wanted to be the most famous motherf***er to ever live the face of the earth and that’s what I am.”

Early Naked Cowboy Memory: “It’s all been one big, long blur [laughs]. One big day. I mean literally. I’ve been doing this exact same thing for over ten years now. I’ve been outside, literally, in public, in crowds this big, every day since I started. I started out with personal development goals – financial, social, historical, physiological – all of which you could read at nakedcowboy.com. I’ve got like six books that I’ve written to date. They can be read at nakedcowboy.com. Again, the goal is to dominate the commercial landscape of the entire world. And to raise the physical, financial and social, you know, basically the success standards for mankind. That’s what I’m doing.”

Greatest Career Moment: “Right this moment. I’m at the peak, height of my moment. I look for nothing but the present moment.”

Most Painful Moment: “Right now [laughs]. Everything’s in the present, dude. Everything’s present tense here.”

Funny Career Memory: “I don’t find anything funny.”

Embarrassing Moment: “No embarrassing…I don’t…”

Favorite Meal: “Chicken and vegetables. I eat it every meal. (Three times a day?) Six or seven times a day. Chicken, turkey, egg whites, white fish, mixed vegetables, water and black coffee. Marijuana if I’m smoking it, but lately I’m not.”

Favorite Breakfast Cereal: “No such thing.”

Favorite Ice Cream Flavor: “Don’t eat ice cream. It’s for babies.”

First Job: “Theft [laughs]. (How old?) 15-16, you know, being a little punk.”

First Car: “I think my dad’s maroon Plymouth Duster he gave me.”

Favorite Vacation Spot: “I consider the entire world my playground.”

People Qualities Most Admired: “Number one quality in the entire world is individualism. That comes from being free, which very few people are.”

Strange Encounter with a Fan: “I had a little old lady in New Orleans Mardi Gras grab my balls and said, Just want to see what you got there, Buster! Only lady that’s every done it. She was about 105. Awesome. Thousand dollars a day, up and down Bourbon Street. Just like here. Only other place in the country where I can make that kind of money on a daily basis. I mean with dollars in the boots. That’s not counting sponsors, endorsements and everything else worldwide, that’s really over the top at this point.”
