    They’re hating on my beach body. If they want, I’ll give them some sessions. They can come train with me.

    – British heavyweight Anthony Joshua in response to criticism from Tyson Fury.

    Shane Warne has a problem with me. I don’t know what – I’ve never disrespected him. It seems he has a lot inside him that needs to come out. I don’t appreciate the way he continues to talk about me. And the things he keeps doing. I don’t know – maybe it’s because my face is real and his face is not.

    – West Indies all-rounder Marlon Samuels on Shane Warne.

    Jon Jones, I have never been afraid of you or anyone in my entire life. You calling me coward is insane. Your day will come b****.

    – UFC light-heavyweight champ Daniel Cormier after he was forced to pull out of his rematch with Jon Jones through injury.

    I don’t think I have ever heard a roar that large in a practice round.

    – Rory McIlroy after a hole-in-one on the 16th hole at Augusta National preparing for The Masters.

    It was a complicated day. If not the worst day, probably among the worst in my career. I am sad to have left the team with 10. In a way I feel responsible for the team not winning. I am certain that with 11 it would have been totally different.

    – Atletico Madrid striker Fernando Torres

    The Pakistan board approached me and said that I am one of the contenders for the job. They asked me that if I was offered the job of the coach, will I be willing to work. I said yes. If I get the job, I will be very happy to coach Pakistan.

    – UAE cricket coach Aaqib Javed on replacing Waqar Younis
