Liam Paro vs David Papa on September 18 in Brisbane, Australia

Liam Paro and David Papot have been nas in the nose today in Brisbane before their heavy weight eliminator IBF, scheduled for Thursday, September 18 (USA 6:00 am et | United Kingdom at 11:00).

The Staredown occurred under the statue of Wally Lewis at the Suncorp Stadium, the same land where Jeff Horn stunned Manny Pacquiao. For paro, it was more than a backdrop; It was a memory of the Aussie boxing story. Now, he wants to cut his own chapter when he encounters the unbeaten Frenchman in Pat Rafter Arena.

The enclosure, better known for tennis, will host the boxing for the first time. With a world title on the line, the struggle is impossible to ignore. Papot, unbeaten after 31 fights, flew non -stop and made clear his position: I stop not intimidating him.

Papot’s warning: “When the bell sounds, it is me and he”

“I have seen a little Liam on social media, but it’s nothing special to me,” Papot told journalists. “I don’t know much about him not to be a southpaw, a quick hands, an old champion. I have been fighting since he was five years old, I traveled everywhere, fought in the United States, fought everywhere. I can fight tactics or I can go to war. I’m ready for everything.”

At the pressure of the crowd, Papot added: “In France, I had seven to eight thousand in my last fights. I’m used to great sand. Once the struggle begins, it is only me and Liam. No one in this field can help.”

PARO brings home pressure

I stop, winning a victory for Jonathan Navarro in Cairns, he knows that Papot has not traveled for a paid day. This eliminator seeks to leave the containment of the world title and, with the fans of the house they look at, the pressure is their handle.

Inmates say that the paro camp has focused on maintaining it acute and level, based on the emotional weight that can lead to fight in front of you. Papot has remained fresh, framing it simply: “Liam is in your hometown, you want to shine, it’s normal.”
