Jamaican super welterweight boxer Joshua 'Hellrazor' Frazer puts his 13-0 record on the line tonight when he squares off against Mponda Kalunga in the main event on a fight card at the Queen's Manor Event Centre in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, for the vacant Canadian and World Boxing League international super welterweight titles.

Joshua's trainer and father, Dewith Frazer, said the boxer is in excellent shape and that the camp is looking for a knockout or a dominant display over the experienced Kalunga.

"No doubt. We are looking for a stoppage (knockout). If not a stoppage, then we are looking for a dominant performance. We have had good preparation. There were no shortcuts. Everything was done well.

"So everything good is going in for Josh. He is ready, and he is excited about fighting for two titles," he said.

The senior Frazer said 'the Egyptian Prince', Kalunga, is a step up for his son but believes that Joshua is more than ready and capable of that step up.

"It is a step up. He (Kalunga) is very experienced. He has gone some rounds. He has 11 wins and three losses. So we expect a good fight.

"But it is the right time for Joshua. The right fight. Every step we make he is ready for it. So it is time for him to step up," he reiterated.

"This fight will really help his ranking, and that's the key element, to keep his ranking going. So he can move up. Joshua is always in shape. He is 13-0 with eight knockouts. So it's going to be a big week for him.

"We have been training specifically for this fight for the last month. So we know who we are fighting and what's on the line, and we are ready."

Dewith added that a win tonight would push Joshua's career to the next stage.

"We are promised that after this fight he will be moving up to the top 30. And that means that at any time he can be called to fight a major fight, any of the top fighters.

"He has punching power, and he is a southpaw, so nobody wants to fight him. But as he moves up the ranking, people will have no choice but to fight him because they will need him for ranking points. So eventually, they will have no alternative."
