Trash Talking Before Clottey-Mundine
Former World Champion Joshua Clottey and his team arrived in Australia yesterday for his upcoming April 9th elimination bout against former two time WBA world champion Anthony “The Man” Mundine 46-5 (27 KOs). Mundine has been talking a lot of smack about Joshua Clottey 37-4 ( 22 KOs) and their twelve round title defense of Mundine's WBA International title.
We were able to catch up with all parties concerned and it looks like no love is lost on either side…
First off, Clotteys' promoter Joe DeGuardia had the following to say: “It looks like Mundine and BOXA Promotions are looking past Joshua onto bigger things but I can tell everybody here, Joshua has not stopped training for six months since this fight was first mentioned and is very confident of victory.”
BOXA promotions agent Brendan Bourke fired back, stating, “We never overlook any opponent but it's true, we think Anthony is on another level.”
Clottey replied with, “Mundine is in for a rude shock when I retire him April 9 in Australia, he has no idea who he's fighting.”
Mundine answered, “I want Cotto, Alvarez then Mayweather, Joshua is a good fighter but he's not on my level, I can't lose.”
For the winner, the #1 spot in the WBA rankings is the prize, with a title shot at 154 pounds looking highly possible later this year.
The fight is live on Australian Main Event PPV TV and at selected Foxtel pubs and clubs.
Tickets are available at Ticketek or at the Newcastle Entertainment Centre.
