Sakio Bika says he has more knockout power than Adonis Stevenson
Monday 30 March 2015 16:34, UK
Sakio Bika has questioned whether Adonis Stevenson will be able to survive his knockout power.
Bika challenges for Stevenson's WBC light-heavyweight championship on Saturday night in Canada, live on Sky Sports 2 after Fight Night Live from Newcastle.
Stevenson boasts a fearsome resume having avoided defeat in the past five years and stopping 21 of his 25 opponents - yet Bika believes he possesses the ability to dramatically end the champion's reign.
“I am very confident that I can handle Adonis’ power but can he handle mine? On April 4th we will see,” said Bika.
“I will show the world that I belong at light-heavyweight when I strip Adonis of the title and become a two-division WBC champion.”
The former super-middleweight title holder has prepared in America for his latest world championship fight as he aims to extend a 32-6-3 record.
“Training has gone well," he said. "Florida was a fantastic place to train; my preparation for this fight has been perfect, I feel strong and I look forward to testing Adonis.”
Watch Fight Night Live on Saturday at 8pm on Sky Sports 2 HD. The Newcastle event featuring Anthony Joshua will be on first, before Bika v Stevenson from Canada.
