WBO welterweight champion Jeff Horn has moved his training from the Top Rank Gym to the Las Vegas gym run by Kevin Barry, the Olympic silver medalist who took Kiwi Joseph Parker to the world heavyweight title. Barry says Horn needs to turn Saturday’s defense of his WBO welterweight title against Terence Crawford into “an absolute brawl.”

“Crawford has seen a lot of styles and is a very pretty boxer so Jeff has to be as unorthodox and rough as possible,” Barry said to Grantlee Kieza. “He has to bring the beast out, he has to bring the dog out he has to bring the mongrel out. Jeff has to make this a brawl.

“Crawford is such a beautiful boxer and he has been allowed to dictate terms in so many fights that Jeff has to fight rough.

“He has to shove the open glove in Crawford’s face when he’s in close, hit him low, hit him in the hip, hit him in the arse, hit him with his forearms, everything. Throw him to the floor, throw him off his game.

“If Jeff lets Crawford get comfortable it’s going to be a difficult night for him.

“We know that Jeff is extremely strong and tough — we saw that against Manny Pacquiao but how will Crawford react to a hard fight like that?”
