That's what Derek Chisora said to me as he peeled off his trunks and carefully arranged ALL of himself face-down on the massage table.
Zimbabwe-born millionaire Chisora is a regular at the health club, usually enjoying caviar and dumplings when he is not in training camp for a fight - but always avoiding their potent vodka now he is a teetotal athlete. SunSport jokes that he is doing well considering he is 48 and he sticks a giant middle finger up at my face and reminds us age is just a number. Most of the reporters in attendance had never stripped off with the 18st powerhouse, followed him into a pitch-black sauna and been battered with prickly bouquets of birch, oak and eucalyptus leaves, known as veniks, in unbearable heats, while wearing unflattering hats.
I have four guys in there hitting me with the leaves and it gets so hot that everybody else runs out. Journalists and fans - even Warren - have been calling for Chisora to retire with his fortune and faculties intact - for almost a decade. Because we know he has suffered 14 punishing losses, done hundreds of thousands of hard sparring rounds and has two beautiful little girls at home who deserve a coherent daddy to grow up with. Once we sat down in a private room we were told there was water on the way and a basic round-table interview would take place.
He went around the room and greeted everyone in his own very unique way, some got an unpublishable insult delivered with genuine affection and humour, one poor cameraman who had never met Chisora was suddenly having his long ginger hair praised.
The complimentary mineral water order, placed before his arrival, was ramped up rapidly too, as Chisora demanded everyone be treated to traditional soup borscht, beef and chicken mince dumplings and an incredible caviar platter. The bad-boy persona he played perfectly at the modest start of his career left a few fans thinking the mask had eaten into his face. The face-off spits and kisses, the table thrown at Dilllian Whyte, the backstage brawl with David Haye, all painted Chisora as a violent maniac.
