Natasha Jonas’ coach referred to as Lauren Value “bang out of order” for lacking a scheduled face-off and questioned why his fighter is taken into account the underdog for Friday’s world title unification battle in London.
Liverpool’s Jonas, 40, is the IBF and WBC champion, whereas Wales’ Value, 30, holds the WBA belt.
After a sluggish begin, Wednesday’s information convention at The Dorchester lodge in London picked up when coach Joe Gallagher took to the microphone.
He referred to as Value “disrespectful” for not turning up on Tuesday morning for a face-off on the battle venue.
Value and her group blamed miscommunication from organisers, however Gallagher continued to steal the present.
“The agenda and narrative with Lauren is that she is an unbelievable fighter, this Ivan Drago-type character. That is simply not the case,” he stated, referencing the character from the Rocky movie sequence.
Value rolled her eyes at Gallagher’s feedback, replying: “He likes to speak.”
Requested why she is going to win on Friday, Value stated: “Too fast, too good and too younger.”
However Gallagher had the ultimate phrase, retorting: “I can not wait till after the battle once we can say ‘too outdated, too sluggish and too good’.”
