EVERYONE'S talking about tonight's heavyweight clash between Mike Tyson and Britain's Danny Williams in America, but I won't even be tuning in on Sky Sports pay per view to watch the show.

And if I were to tune in I'd be more interested in watching Muhammad Ali's daughter Laila in action on the undercard, that's how little interest I have in the Tyson show.

Some people seem to think Williams has a chance if he isn't intimidated and keeps out of trouble in the early rounds and gets his jab working. He says he has never felt more relaxed and is talking confidently.

But it's easy to feel like that beforehand. When he actually faces Tyson in the ring I think his legs will turn the same texture as his jaw and become like jelly.

The fact is that Tyson does intimidate and the only fighters not to have been intimidated by him were Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield, and they were great fighters. Williams isn't remotely in their class and is not even a big hitter, so he has no weapons to defend with.

He has struggled against ordinary fighters like Michael Sprott and was punched into oblivion by the Turk Sinan Samil Sam in a European title bout. He just hasn't got it.

I genuinely hope I'm wrong and that he wins, but though Tyson is 38, has not fought for a long time and has deteriorated, he will have had to have deteriorated totally to lose this one.

Williams says if he can stay in it for four rounds, he can go on to win the fight, but he's a typically upright British fighter who will suit Tyson's come forward style.

Even if he keeps his hands high, Tyson will catch him somewhere and he will pack enough weight to blow Williams away. As I say, I hope I'm wrong, but I think Tyson will finish it inside three rounds.

Going back to Laila Ali, I have to admit that watching women boxing is a bit like watching a freak show, but nevertheless I do find it entertaining.

Laila is in fact a very good boxer, obviously taking after her father but, like her dad, I would rather women didn't box or, put it this way, I certainly wouldn't do anything to encourage it. But we live in a free world where everyone can do as they wish within the law and if women wish to fight, then that's up to them.

You may have noticed that in America many of the top boxers seem to indulge in side bets on their fights, something not done this side of the pond.

I suppose it is a way of improving your purse - if you win - and I have been asked would I consider it. The answer is yes.

I believe the bets mostly come about because when one fighter challenges another to a side bet, it is almost impossible to turn down because you are immediately giving your opponent a psychological advantage.

I've never believed I was going to lose a fight so I would happily have accepted any offer and I still would.

You have to have confidence in your ability and confidence is not something I've ever been short of.

Meanwhile, it's now beginning to look more likely that my return to the ring will be in defence of my WBO world super-middleweight title and will be in early October rather than September.

I haven't had any definite news from promoter Frank Warren, hopefully there will be some soon, but my next fight will DEFINITELY NOT be against world light-heavyweight champion Antonio Tarver.

I'm over my latest leg injury now and have resumed light training as I gradually begin to scale down to super-middleweight again.

Because of my recent injuries I have to take it easy at first, which means just a bit of jogging and a few sessions in the gym.

But when the time comes to step it up and get back in the ring, I'll be ready.
