DETROIT -- Andrew Golota is looking for a clean fight. A short fight is what's on Mike Tyson's mind.

	Andrew Golota works out hard in preparation for his bout Friday night in Detroit against Mike Tyson.

"I am approaching this fight like it is going to be a clean one," Golota said Monday after working out at the Powerhouse Gym in Madison Heights, Mich. "I plan to fight clean as much as possible."

"I'm not worried about Golota's tactics," Tyson said after a workout at Detroit's Brewster Gym, where the great Joe Louis once trained. "If he is knocked out it does not matter. I am looking to do some serious damage. I am looking for a quick KO."

The two heavyweights who have sullied their reputations with dirty tactics in several bouts are scheduled to fight Friday night in the Palace at Auburn Hills. It will be shown on pay-per-view.

"Both fighters are professionals and know how to fight," said Al Certo, Golota's trainer. "I think the media wants a dirty fight and has been trying to talk the fighters into it. I think it is going to be good fight. If Tyson does fight dirty, Golota might pick him up and body slam him or throw him out of the ring."

Tyson, who appeared relaxed, said he doesn't believe he is the despised figure he is sometimes portrayed as being.

"If every white person really hated me, I would not make a dollar," the former undisputed heavyweight champion said. "Anyone with any kind of intelligence would know that. Anyone that is ignorant would want to believe that. I am an anxious guy and I am bitter. Listen, I am just insecure sometimes. Sometimes I overreact when I should not.

"I fought in London (actually Manchester, England) and Scotland and all the white people there loved me. I come back here (the United States) and I hear all these bad things about me."

Golota has failed to win big fights. He twice was disqualified in bouts he was winning against Riddick Bowe. He was stopped in one round by heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis and he was stopped by Michael Grant in the ninth round of a fight he was the verge of winning.

"I think Tyson's promoter probably thought I would be a good opponent for him," Golota said. "We will see Friday night. This is definitely going to be a very interesting fight for the viewers. I have worked very hard for this fight. I have sparred, boxed and run more than ever before. I am ready."
