Today’s “Zab” Judah media conference call was too good to be true.
It started on time. Media attendance was record-breaking. Oh, and the trainer, formerly known as Zab during the call, was, in reality, his father and trainer, YOEL Judah.
Shades of Clifford Irving!
Yes, the call was a plain old-fashioned hoax.
“Mea culpa,” said a still-stunned Lee Samuels, boss-publicist for promoter Top Rank. “I called Zab’s number 10 minutes ahead to make sure he would be ready and I assumed the person I was talking to was Zab. I’ve been doing conference calls for Top Rank since 1982 and I’ve NEVER been snookered like this before. I would have made a lousy contestant on the game show “To Tell The Truth.” But I do apologize to the media for this.”
Judah’s opponent, undefeated World Boxing Association welterweight champion Miguel Cotto, who hosts his own media conference call next Wednesday, May 30, at 3 P.M. ET / Noon PT was not surprised at all by Judah’s shenanigans.
“I’ve been saying all along that Judah was a fraud, this media conference call only confirmed it,” said Cotto from his training camp in Puerto Rico.
Now we know where Zab get's all of his loonie-nees from.
The acorn does not fall far from the tree.
