Meanwhile, the Royal Yachting Association, the UK’s national governing body, was outlining its plans for a future British challenge for the America’s Cup. “A good boxer just needs to be reminded of what he knows and that is what is important during training,” he said. “If you don’t remember the little things, you don’t remember the big things, and that is what I have to do now.”Seconds later he was gone, still smiling and signing every autograph thrust his way The press followed shortly after. Calzaghe looked shattered by the revelation.Before Tyson left the gym, leaving behind dozens of disappointed film crews all of whom had failed to secure an exclusive interview, there was a brief return to his welcome, open and reflective mood of last week.

I’m here for a fight [light laughter] and I just wish I felt as good as everybody says I look.”Calzaghe was one of the people listening as Tyson spoke, and there was a serious look on his face “I couldn’t handle it, me,” he said. “Being under pressure non-stop and having to watch every word would be terrible. He seems like a really nice guy and you have to feel sorry for him.” Last weekend Warren had to explain to Calzaghe how prostitutes will try and gain access to Tyson’s close circle to get a photograph that they can sell. He was far more selective with his words and refused to be drawn on the issue of race, a subject he had been happy to discuss last week with the British media.”You know they call me a nigger in the US and you also know they don’t like Jews,” he said as he turned his head from one reporter to another “I don’t want to talk about that. In truth there was not much to watch as Tyson went through the motions, and for the first time since his arrival 10 days ago he looked a bit bored.

Tyson, it should be remembered, has fallen asleep at press conferences on several occasions in the past.What was interesting was how Tyson reacted when the familiar faces of the American boxing press cornered him at the end. However, when Tyson eventually arrived he removed his top before departing to a toilet. He was gone 10 minutes and some experienced Tyson watchers, wonderful cynics that they are, believed he had fled to his room.By the time Tyson started to sweat under the continuous glow of flashlights, Calzaghe had returned from his room to watch him train. His promoter, Frank Warren, has watched in frustration as several planned fights in America have had to be postponed due to injury during the last two years, but everything for Starie is perfect.”I’m in the real fight and not some type of exhibition, but if my profile improves because of the other fight on the bill I will not complain,” said Calzaghe, who is unbeaten in 27 fights.Yesterday, the media started to gather long before the Welshman entered the makeshift gym to view the perpetual curiosity that Tyson has become. Now, they talk.Calzaghe has finished his proper training, and for the first time since he won the title by beating Chris Eubank in October 1997 he has no injuries or weight problems. His fight and Tyson’s will be shown on the American cable network Showtime.He has met Tyson several times in the lifts and on the seventh floor.
