At the final press conference yesterday, Joshua claimed that he would make Molina look like a novice. Molina took exception to that comment. The exchange between the two fighters became heated and Molina’s camp joined in on the verbal attacks on the champ.
After being told he would look like a novice, Molina said Joshua will be dancing if he slips up for even one second during their fight. He also said, “You have to make me look like a novice, that’s why you got me here.”
Molina said the only way he’s going to win is via knockout. He added that he has nothing to lose and that all of Britain will be surprised. Molina said Joshua would be surprised, too.
If Joshua, 27, defeats Molina on Saturday, then it will pave the way for him to face Wladimir Klitschko next year. Joshua would have the chance to unify the WBA and IBF titles. Klitschko, 40, has over 60 career wins and has lost the WBA, IBF and WBO titles to Tyson Fury back in November 2015.
Joshua said he is mentally ready for the fight with Molina and his bout with Kitschhko is not a distraction. He said for now he has to deal with what’s in front of him, which is Molina.

Joshua, who is undefeated with 17 wins, will meet Molina at Manchester Arena in England. He said he hasn’t been up north for a longtime and the crowd there is good.
