World Heavyweight Champion, Anthony Joshua has said he would set bobby trap for his challenger, Joseph Parker when they both confront each other on Saturday in massive unification bout billed to take place in Cardiff. Joshua who was reacting to statement from the Parker camp that he is ready for war and would chase him around the ring warned that there would be blood, sweat and the cheers from his corner.
“Yeah, it’s good news but it’s silly –it’s boxing. I’m hearing that all you need is a good chin and a right hand. We’ve been working on technique, finesse and counter punching.
“I hope Parker falls into my booby traps because I will set them up with some power traps as well. There’ll be a bit of a war. You’ll see blood, sweat and hopefully cheers from my corner.” He expressed happiness over the amazing reception from the crowd,
“This is another unbelievable reception, it’s bigger than last time. Boxing is growing, it’s a golden era right now and it’s great to be a part of it. I like the interaction part with fans, there are people I want to meet, and a minute of your time means the world to some people and means the world to me.”
On his preparedness he said;
“Physically, I’ve always tried to prepare myself the best way, but now I believe more and believe in my ability – I’m focused.
“It’s a boxing match and people respect clinical boxing and that should see me through to victory.
“We are working round by round, camp by camp and every camp I aim to improve. We’ll see the perks I’ve been working on come Saturday.
“You need to keep the challenger’s mindset, I try not to be seen with the belt too much, I let other people have the enjoyment, I have to keep that challenger’s mindset.
“I’m looking forward to this challenge. Just because I’m the hunted, it’s no time to put my feet up and relax. I’m out there defending my throne.”
