Toney talks tough
James Toney celebrates his victory over Evander Holyfield
Toney beat Holyfield in eight rounds
Heavyweight contender James Toney has hit out at his next opponent Jameel McCline ahead of their IBF eliminator bout in Las Vegas on 7 February.

Toney, who became the first man to stop Evander Holyfield in his top-weight debut, faces McCline for the right to challenge Chris Byrd for a world title.

And the one-time middleweight has made it clear that he expects to win easily.

"I see this fight like that scene in the Rocky movie where he is hitting a slab of meat," Toney said.

"That is what I will be doing against McCline. People think it is going to be difficult but it is going to be an easy fight."
