A Latvian boxer has opted to goad his upcoming opponent by telling him Essex girls are "only any use for one night."
Eduards "KO King" Gerasimovs will fight fellow middleweight "Smokin" Joe Mullender from Brentwood on March 14, 2015.
But he chose a bizarre choice of insults in his pre-match fighting talk, which was quoted in a promotional press release sent to the Chronicle on Friday.
The KO King said: "The only thing any good that comes out of Essex is the girls and they are only any use for one night.
"I have been to Essex before and it's a great place for that but then I want to get out as quickly as I can"
Gerasimovs has six wins all by knockout, all inside two rounds, with only two defeats against "high class" opposition.
He continues: "My countryman Ruslans Pojonisevs put Mullender on the canvas in round one last time and lost what we call a robbed decision.
"Mullender will be my seventh victory inside two rounds and he will stay there.
"I will do this to honour a victory for my country and get the result we should have had last time.
"This time Mullender won't be able to get up. Tell the Essex girls not to worry about Mullender's victory party they can party with me".
Joe retorts: "He can say what he wants.
"I want everyone in Essex to get behind me and beat this arrogant guy.
"He can say what he wants I am proud to be from Essex and I am determined to ram his insults down his throat."
