Joe Fournier has vowed that he will knock out Reykon quickly when the two men meet on next month’s Triller Fight Club event.

The two men meet at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, USA on Saturday 17 April, on the undercard of Jake Paul’s fight with Ben Askren.

The rivalry between Fournier and Colombian reggae artist Reykon started after a confrontation in a restaurant, and Fournier plans on making his opponent pay for stepping into the ring.

Fournier said: “He’s either really brave or really stupid, I haven’t figured it out yet. I’m training like he’s a champion, but I’m going to make sure it doesn’t last long.

“I signed with MTK Global two months ago, so I had every intention of coming back. This has been a godsend from Triller to be on this show, and I think what they are doing is exceptional.

“This match-up alone is interesting and intriguing enough, but I’ll knock him out inside a minute. If he wants to come and try to knock me out too then it will make for even more fireworks.”

Also on the card, super lightweight Regis Prograis (New Orleans) taking on Ivan Redkach (Shostka, Ukraine); heavyweight MMA Bad Boy Frank Mir (Las Vegas) will battle former IBF titleholder Steve Cunningham (Philadelphia, PA). The card will be subject to all professional boxing rules, with eight rounds and 10-ounce gloves, and each will be an official professional fight.
