MANCHESTER, England (AP) British fighter Anthony Joshua has barely had a glove laid on him on his rise to the top of the heavyweight division.
He might need that to continue against Eric Molina on Saturday.
In a news conference ahead of their IBF world heavyweight fight in Manchester, Molina, the challenger, says he's ''specifically trained to land the knockout shot, there's nothing else I've worked on.''
It is the 34-year-old American's second shot at a world title. In his first, he made WBC champion Deontay Wilder wobble with a left hook in the third round but couldn't follow it up and was knocked out in the ninth.
Molina added spice to the fight by telling Joshua that Wilder is the ''best heavyweight in the world right now.''
Joshua has won all 17 of his professional fights. This is his second defense of the IBF belt.
