Boxers get it all the time after winning a fight: "Who do you want to fight next?"
It was an innocent enough question for Joshua Clottey, who had just beaten Lloyd Joseph in a 10-round decision in June 2004. Clottey said he wanted to fight Zab Judah for Judah's welterweight title.
Apparently, that challenged didn't sit to well with Judah, who sought out Clottey at Gleason's Gym in Brooklyn. N.Y., the next week.
"It was a week after my fight and I was working out in the gym and he came in and asked me why I wanted to fight him," Clottey told ESPN.com. "He said he would give me money to spar with him. I said I didn't want his money. I wanted to fight him. Then he started acting crazy."
Clottey said he went about his work but Judah and his entourage wouldn't stop taunting him. When it became too disruptive, Clottey and his trainer confronted Judah.
"He pushed my trainer and he wanted me to go outside and fight him," Clottey said. "He really didn't want that because I'm a very good street fighter. That's how I started boxing."
