Wednesday, April 30
First thing this morning it was the usual run around Sunser Park, then back home for a breakfast.
Today was a big day in the grand scheme of things - the big head-to-head press day where I get to meet Manny Pacquiao again.
I have been watching Manny on
24/7 and the like, and he seems to be a genuinely nice guy.
But come Saturday all the niceties will be put to one side when we meet in the centre of the ring, just the two of us.
I really don't see this fight going the distance, I just see an exciting fight and I see myself winning it.
I know the so-called experts have got me down as the underdog, but I am sure they aren't seeing the same fight as I am.
After the press conference - which was live on
Sky Sports News - I went back to the apartment to rest, have a meal and then a massage.
Then I signed a few autographs for the merchandisers. One of the items is a Union Jack suit that I wore for a photo-shoot with
The Sun newspaper in front of the famous Las Vegas sign.
After the fight, I will be auctioning the suit off for the Help for Heroes charity; I want to raise some money for the lads and lasses in our armed forces because they protect our country and do us proud.
