Ghana’s Joshua Clottey has vowed to whip two-division champion Zap Judah when the two clash on Saturday in a world welterweight championship bout in Las Vegas.
According to the Ghanaian pugilist, now was the time to become a world champion to put smiles on the faces of his fans.
“This is my time to be a champion,” Clottey declared during a press conference held Saturday morning at The Lounge at The Palms in Las Vegas, adding that he was in peak condition to back his words with action.
But Zab Judah insisted that he was in no mood to even consider a defeat in the upcoming fight.
“"I am not going to lose this fight. No way!" Judah said: "I have known Joshua Clottey for a long time and I respect him. But as the old saying goes: ‘The Bronx keeps on making it and Brooklyn keeps on taking it!' I am taking it August 2nd!"
Judah's comments were in reference to Brooklyn being his hometown and that Clottey - who is a native of Ghana - fights out of the Bronx.
Judah and Clottey will headline an HBO Boxing After Dark card next Saturday night for the IBF welterweight title vacated by Antonio Margarito.
