Furyjoshua.com has the latest from Saturday's David Avanesyan vs Josh Kelly fight card, as Florian Marku begins the verbal bashing ahead of his battle with Rylan Charlton.
Marku vows to humiliate Charlton
‘Albanian King’ Florian Marku has vowed to pay back Rylan Charlton for his trash talk by humiliating Norwich’s ‘Pint Size Powerhouse’ on Saturday night.
The pair clash on the undercard of David Avanesyan vs Josh Kelly at SSE Arena Wembley, part of a show which will air live on Sky Sports Boxing in the UK and on DAZN in the United States and more than 200 other countries.
Charlton (6-0-1) has certainly talked the talk ahead of this fascinating welterweight scrap, as he comes off a stunning knockout victory over the undefeated Joe Laws last October.
Marku (7-0-1) meanwhile is still smarting from losing his perfect professional record in a draw with Jamie Stewart in December.
Trash talk
The trash talk from Charlton has just fired up Marku even more, and he is now itching to get into the ring to settle scores on Saturday night.
He vowed: “I will knock Rylan Charlton out 100%. He has said many bad things about me, so I just hope he comes to fight. In his other fights his approach is to come forward and be aggressive but when he is face to face with me, he will change his game plan.
“He will feel my power and my speed, then he will change his mind. I know he says he will wipe the floor with me, but I don’t know how he will recover from saying that when he loses.
Humiliated
“He will be humiliated. I am going to make him look stupid in the ring and he will see my boxing ability. He says he doesn’t rate it, but he will see.”
Saturday night of course will see the action taking place behind closed doors once again due to COVID-19 restrictions. That though does not matter to Marku.
“I am confident like nobody else, you can bring me whoever you want inside of the ring. I will never think my opponent is better than me. I am in the best shape I have ever been and will show that in this fight.
“Crowd or no crowd it will just be me and Rylan Charlton, we fight alone. I am no Joe Laws trust me, I am going to knock him out!"
