Wladimir, 34, is facing what could be his worst nightmare in the young 26-year-old Chisora, who has a lot of power and sets a fast pace in his fights. This is the kind of heavyweight that Wladimir has always had problems with in the past, and he’s facing him at the wrong time in his career.

In an article at dailymail.co.uk, Chisora said “You tried to buy greatness but you are not great. It’s time for you to have a proper fight. He is on the way down and I am on the way up. He’s never boxed anyone like me. I am young, I move on my feet, I am fast. I am a different heavyweight. I am here to take the title back to Britain.”

Wladimir and many boxing fans seem to think this is going to be an easy fight this Saturday. However, Chisora has got the tools to shock the world. He’s just got to make sure that he gets in close and lands big to take out Wladimir with one of his big shots. He can’t let this go to decision because it’s not likely that Chisora would be able to win a decision against Wladimir in Germany. The good thing that Chisora has going for him is his power and Wladimir’s glass-like chin. Once Chisora lands something big, he’s got a great chance of taking Wladimir out.

With a win over Wladimir on Saturday, Chisora will still have to beat Wladimir’s brother WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko and then face Wladimir again in a rematch before he’ll be able to move on to defending the titles against other fighters. However, Chisora will make much more money after he beats Wladimir this Saturday, so it won’t be as bad as some people think it is.
