ANTHONY JOSHUA & ERIC MOLINA PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES FOR IBF HEAVYWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP THIS SATURDAY LIVE ON SHOWTIME? PhilBoxing.com Fri, 09 Dec 2016  ?I?ll make Eric look like a novice.? ? Anthony Joshua ?If you slip-up one second you?ll be dancing and the world will be talking.? ? Eric Molina MANCHESTER, England (Dec. 8, 2016) ? IBF Heavyweight World Champion Anthony Joshua and American challenger Eric Molina met for their final press conference on Thursday in Manchester, England, as they prepare to square off this Saturday at Manchester Arena live on SHOWTIME? (5:30 p.m. ET/2:30 p.m. PT). The SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL? presentation originates from Galen Center at USC in Los Angeles, site of that evening?s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast. WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay Wilder will join host Brian Custer and analysts Al Bernstein and Paulie Malignaggi as part of the SHOWTIME announce team for Joshua vs. Molina. "It's not so much about who I'm fighting, it's about myself,? Joshua told the British press. ?I'm not really worried about what Eric?s camp is doing. God willing I go out there to do my job. I?m just really worried about myself. I?ll make Eric look like a novice.? Molina said he wants to duplicate the feat of his long-time mentor Oliver McCall, who in 1994 upset Lennox Lewis for the WBC Heavyweight title at Wembley Stadium in London. ?I always envision myself having that moment that he had here in England,? Molina said. ?He had that big win and it just shows the world that in this heavyweight division anything is possible." Added Molina: ?If you slip-up one second you?ll be dancing and the world will be talking.? Undefeated sensation and 2012 Olympic Gold Medalist Joshua (17-0, 17 KOs) will make the second defense of his title against Molina (25-3 19 KOs), a Texas native getting his second shot at a belt in his quest to become the first Mexican-American heavyweight world champion. An encore presentation of Joshua vs. Molina will air as part of the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast later that evening, following the main event showdown between WBA Featherweight World Champion Jesus Cuellar and three-division former champ Abner Mares. In the co-feature, Jermall Charlo will defend his IBF Junior Middleweight World Championship against fellow-undefeated challenger Julian Williams.  |
