Newly crowned IBF champion Joshua Clottey says Antonio Margarito would be his next casualty after battering Zab Judah to a pulp.

Joshua lost in a WBO welter weight bout to Antonio Margarito in December 2006 but says that was a mistake.

He dismissed opinions from pundits that he needed two more fights to be battle ready for Margarito, claiming he was in a clear lead, but for an injury he sustained, he would have beaten Margarito in their earlier encounter.

Clottey made these comments in an interview with Joy News on Wednesday, on his arrival at the Kotoka International Airport.

He was met on arrival by the Minister of Education, Science and Sports Dominic Fobih, officials of the Ghana Boxing Association, as well as his jubilant fans who set the airport to raptors amidst singing, drumming and dancing.

Clottey says his lifestyle outside the ring will spur him on for more victories for the country.

“I can tell you that I am the most disciplined guy. I don’t drink, I don’t smoke. I don’t do anything that I think is bad. I am always focused on my training, and I know with determination there is nothing I cannot achieve” he said.
