Chris maintains that he only saw 35-year-old Tyson briefly in the hotel lift and has never formally met him, but he insisted that his comments had now “wound him up” and brought out the “warrior” in him.<\/p>\n
“I just think he just wants cheap publicity out of me and I\u2019m not having it,” he continued.<\/p>\n
“I have a plan that on the night of [his next] fight, I\u2019m going to hide behind his dressing room door, and when he comes out, I\u2019m going to hit him with a lead pipe!” he added jokingly.<\/p>\n
Talking of Tyson’s previous claims, he went on to add: “Of course, I wouldn\u2019t pick a row with the biggest man on the planet. It\u2019s complete and utter nonsense!”<\/p>\n

So weird. Is he trying to set me up for the next fight? Is he trying to rile me? It\u2019s a bit of publicity for him and all that, but there\u2019s a point where, you know, it\u2019s starting to bring out the warrior in me frankly,” he concluded.<\/p>\n
