?Prince? Charles Martin told Sky Sports recently that he will knock out undefeated Anthony Joshua and go on to become one of the best southpaw in boxing history.. More specifically, the Prince said,
?My skills are going to prevail on April 9,? the unbeaten Martin told Sky Sports. ?I?ve got the skill and the will to win. I?m the best champion. I?ll go down in history as the best southpaw that ever put on a pair of gloves. I?m that guy and I?m going to prove it. Big shout outs to my coaches Henry Tillman and Jamal Abdullah. We?re learning how to be better, more explosive, more powerful, and with more technique and with better footwork. It?ll be the key to spark him out. We?ll keep it awkward for him. He won?t know whether to look out for the hook, the straight left hand or the uppercut, the crosses ? I?ve got it all.?
All this from someone who won the championship by watching his opponent, Vyacheslav Glazkov, blow out his knee blew without having been hit.
Meanwhile, another southpaw, unbeaten Cuban Luis Ortiz, is quietly going about his work by mowing down his opposition and keeping his boasts, delusional or otherwise, to himself.
And the refreshingly blunt Lucas ?Big Daddy? Browne had this to say about being called out by ?undeserving? fighters.
?My message is simple: piss off!? ?If you want to win yourself a world title, great. Go do what I did. Fight a heap of times overseas, work your way up and earn it the hard way. I have to accept that people are going to try stirring me in the media. Promoters, managers, fighters, they?re all going to want to make me bite. I?ve already had guys like Solomon Haumono approach me but what the hell have they done to earn a world title shot? I had to get my belt the hard way. So should everyone else.?
As for Martin and ?A.J,? look for Joshua to win by early stoppage and then make a legitimate call-out to ?Big Daddy.?
