Former champion Shannon Briggs is giving Bryant Jennings no shot at defeating WBO/WBA/IBO/IBF heavyweight king Wladimir Klitschko - if that fight gets made.
Briggs has been chasing for a Klitschko opportunity, going through some extreme lengths to get the shot by crashing media events to confront the champion in a face to face manner.
The negotiations continue for Jennings to face Klitschko on April 25th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
In the opinion of Briggs, Jennings in not even close to ready to face someone like Klitschko.
"Jennings is gonna try to do what? Go inside? He’s not gonna be strong enough to deal with that. He’s never been there, he’s never been to the big dance, he doesn’t even have the experience. He’s a tough guy, don’t get me wrong but he’s not ready yet and they know that," Briggs told On The Ropes Boxing Radio.
"This is what I’m trying to tell the people, you may not like Shannon Briggs but I’m not gonna lie to you, I’m gonna keep it real with you. I see how it’s set up, that’s why I call it the “pot factory” because they bring you in and they just eat you alive. I’ve been there, I was part of it, so I know what it’s like but now I’m back. I’m reborn, I’m in shape, I’m a new me. I feel great, I got nobody with me, I’m by myself. No managers, nobody leeching on to me, I’m by myself. It’s just me and the champ."
