Want to know about the ringwalk? Well, wait and see...

Thursday, May 15

More interviews. I even started the day with a show at my house!

Anyway today was the media day when all the press and television came down to the gym and for some of them it's a chance to meet me in the flesh and get a few words straight from the horse's mouth.

With exaggerated stories in the press about my health it was a pleasure to put the rumours to rest. I felt really good in training - I thought I was flying, I felt that good.

I understand that Lovemore N'dou arrived today, I know Juan Lazcano gets here Sunday and Paulie Malignaggi on Monday.

That's all the main card fighters. The undercard is mostly from this country and chief support is our Matthew fighting Craig Watson for the Commonwealth Welterweight title.

Talking of our Matt, it was his birthday today, he's been working hard in the gym and I've got to say, he's looking good. I called round his house after the gym to drop him his present and wish him happy birthday.

After tea I did a conference call for the American press together with Lazcano. He's a seasoned pro and he hasn't got into any trash talking. That's how it should be.

The local television station, Granada, has been trying to work out what my ring entrance is going to be like and even did an entire programme on it. It was very funny but they haven't got a clue!

It's never been done before, so let them keep guessing.
