"I'm a young lad from a small fishing town in east Hull, fighting at the Mecca where Muhammad Ali fought," said former British and Commonwealth champion Coyle.
"Through a lot of hard work, sacrifice and perseverance, I have got to my summit. Nobody can take that away from me.
"Without pressure, you don't get diamonds.
"You don't win world titles or take Manny Pacquiao 12 rounds without being a great fighter.
"Timing is everything and I'm in a good place mentally and physically.
"Through defeats, I became a better person and a better fighter. You don't lose if you learn from it."
