The cocky camp of challenger Osumanu Adama launched an astonishing attack on Australia’s IBF middleweight boxing world champion Daniel Geale on Monday.

Ghanaian Adama (20-2, 15 KOs) displayed confidence and his trainer Joseph Awinongya was contemptuous of Geale, who will make a mandatory defence on March 7 in Hobart.

“I’m ready this fight is mine, there’s no doubts about it,” Adama, 31, said.

Awinongya ramped up the verbals by denigrating Geale’s ability and suggesting he switch to a less confrontational activity.

“One thing about Daniel Geale, he can dance, I told him ‘why don’t you change from boxing to a ballet dancer?” Awinongya said.

“I don’t know what you guys see in him, he can’t fight. That’s why he don’t go to America because Showtime, HBO wouldn’t put him on TV.

“(American promoter) Gary Shaw knows that so he keeps him right here. We’re going to show you there’s a lot of ways to beat him.”

Renowned for his dignified manner outside the ring, Geale remained composed under fire.

IBF featherweight champion Billy Dib, who will make a mandatory defence against Mexican Eduardo Escobedo on the same card, leapt to Geale’s defence.

“Daniel Geale is one of the best fighters in the world, won medals at the Commonwealth Games … talk is cheap,” Dib said.

Geale said his his training camp had been awesome and his body was feeling good.

“I’m just looking forward to sharpening up and getting everything perfect,” Geale said.

Dib revealed he, like Geale, is looking forward to big fights overseas provided he defeats Escobedo.

“I’ve had meetings with (American promotional company) Top Rank and they are really happy with the way I’ve been progressing,” Dib told AAP.

“Everything rests on the performance on March 7. A good performance there and a good victory means big fights in America.

“Anything less than that would mean disaster for me.”

The Hobart card also includes an IBF Pan Pacific heavyweight clash between Australian Kali Meehan (38-4, 31 KOs) and American Travis Walker (38-7-1, 30 KOs).

One of Walker’s losses was to Australian Alex Leapai, who fights former world title contender Kevin Johnson next month.

“He (Leapai) got in the ring last time and called me out, so the plan is I get past Travis Walker, hopefully he will get past his opponent and then we can meet,” Meehan said.

“I’m also trying to fight David Tua, Shane Cameron, the best that New Zealand has to offer to see who is the best heavyweight in this part of the world at this time.”
