Boris also said that the free trade deal will protect jobs and allow UK goods to be sold without tariffs and quotas in the EU market.
It will also allow companies to do even more business with Europe, he said.
British laws will be made solely by the British parliament, interpreted by UK judges sitting in UK courts and the jurisdiction of the ECJ will come to an end.
EU leaders, the European parliament, and the UK government will all need to now approve the agreement on their own.
