Wladimir Klitschko wants to fight Chambers in a Football stadium
December 24th, 2009
By Jim Dower: IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (53-3, 47 KO’s) wants to make his next title defense against American Eddie Chambers (35-1, 18 KO’s) in a large football stadium, in Dusseldorf, Germany. Klitschko, 33, will be fighting Chambers next year on March 20th at a still to be determined location in Germany. About fighting in a large stadium, Klitschko has this to say about it: “I want to hold my next fight against mandatory challenger Eddie Chambers on the football stadium in Dusseldorf. In a fight against Chagaev at the Schalke stadium I had tremendous feelings.”
Klitschko will be making his 4th defense of his WBO title, which he won with by a lopsided 12 round decision over then champion Sultan Ibragimov in February 2008. Wladimir was supposed to fight Chambers this month, but because of a hand injury from the Chagaev bout that required surgery, his fight with Chambers was pushed back to March.
Chambers recently beat 6’7″ Ukrainian Alexander Dimitrenko by a 12 round majority decision in July in a WBO heavyweight title eliminator bout. Chambers looked good in getting inside on the taller Dimitrenko and was able to punish him at close range for 12 rounds. Chambers figures that he’ll be able to do the same thing with Klitschko, because of his similar fighting style with that of Dimitrenko. Chambers doesn’t want to stay on the outside and eat jabs and right hands from Klitschko because he doesn’t have the reach to compete with him at long range. Chambers figures he has a good chance of beating Klitschko if he can stay in close and use his superior quickness to get the better of him.
Chambers will have to find a way to get his shots off without being clinched constantly by Klitschko, who doesn’t let his opponents get inside on him for any length of time. Chambers will also have to come up with a plan to avoid some of Klitschko’s powerful left hooks and right hands while coming at him. Klitschko, unlike his brother WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko, has one punch power and can turn a fight around at a moments notice with one big shot.

The Klitschko’s are boring is just propaganda the way Haye is exciting is propagnada!
Haye fight against Valuev was by farrrrrr the most boring fight in history! Only 5 punches thrown a round! Klitschko throws more punches in 1 round than Haye did in 12rounds of his first Heavyweight championship fight! Only the media and it’s propaganda delude the sheep, not the clever ones! Unfortunantely, most people are sheeps in this world and the history proves this!
Good point Processor I would have to agree with you. The only thing with the Klich brothers mainly Vlad is you tend to feel he can do a little more at times when hes really got his opponant hurt. Its sometimes a little to negative even when hes well on top. But to some up they do get the job done and win their fights and results is more inportant then the manner.
Mountain god–everybody says the klitschko’s are boring, I’ve been a fight fan for years and I can’t wait to see them fight.
Incase you don’t remember during the mayweather marquez fight Vitali landed and threw more punches in 10 rounds than mayweather threw in 12 rounds.
If wladamir fights on the moon I will watch.
I just want to watch WLADAMIR, or Vitali, box,anywhere any time. They are the Greasest of all time, and prooving it. The only thing that will defeat them is Father Time,just like all the old Champions.
Muzza, I respect you opinion, but it is doubtfull BORING or not. I beleive that not boring. In sport the major goal is RESULT. I enjoy to see how the strongest heavyweight of the sport knocking out every his opponent. And by the way I remember the Mayweather vs DeLaHoya fight. Mayweather was actualy boring then. Oscar was like hurricane and thrown so much punches, I thought he won the bout,BUT the judges surprised me, Floyd has won. You know what i mean, wins is major goal in every sport. People in America love Mayweather, but they forgot that Klitschko brothers are SUPERSTARS in whole Europe, especialy in Germany where thay are Idols. All the best.
BORING. Vlad will beat him and all credit to him for that but im sorry to say it but it will be Boring but effective on Vlads part. The sooner someone can beat a Klitch the better for me just to open the HW scene up a little. I say again credit to the bros but they are boring.

Your haye is joke, he ran away from Wlad, ran from Vit. He is coward champ and you know that so. haye look scared, his eyes looks like a boy’s eyes. Valuev is nothing – haye is nothing as well. Wlad Klitschko is True Champ, he proved this for years, 3 belts and Ring Mag. belt confirmed this.
Two words to shut these brothers up ……. David haye
Wlad will win. He is strongest and skillest fighter out there. Eddie has no chance against him. But it is very interesting bout. Wlad is KING!
someone needs to explain to the dum americans that it is the kicking kind of football not the throwing which is actually called gridiron
should be a good contest. Chambers is small, but that did not matgter in his last fight.
I was at Gelsenkirchen, and I ain’t gonna be fooled up again.
Oh don’t waste your money on this one.
we all know what’s going to happen. chambers will cover up and klitchko will keep pocking at him like a toothless hyena for 12 rounds.
