I can't get up for training unless I'm in a big fight, and this is going to be a fight fans want to see. He has power, and I have power. It's going to be a war,

That's one fight that I'm looking forward to happening. I've always told you I'm not going to duck Scott, he's earned his right. I like Scott and I think he's a cool guy but when we get in the ring it's going to be a fight and it's going to be an exciting fight. I think it's the kind of fight that everybody wants to see.

I don't buy that injury for a minute. He's just ducking me to get out of the fight,

He's not a fighter I can overlook at all. He was able to knock out Omar Sheika, a guy who I couldn't knockout, ... Sure, I wanted Calzaghe, but Scott Pemberton is a really good fighter.

We will still fight on November 5th. Everyone had
been telling me all along to have a backup plan because Calzaghe was going
to fallout. I had too much respect and trust for Frank Warren and Joe
Calzaghe to do that but those days are over.

I suspected all along that Calzaghe didn't want any of this. I kinda prepared myself for it but it is still disappointing.
