Eddie Chambers
Is Chambers too Small to Beat Wladimir Klitschko?
By Chris Williams: IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (53-3, 47 KO’s) will be making a decision soon as to which of his two heavyweight titles he’ll be defending next in his upcoming fight later on this year. Klitschko, 33, isn’t tipping his hand as to which fighter it will be – either Eddie Chambers or Alexander Povetkin – and is saying that he’ll make his decision sometime this month or in September.
Wladimir Klitschko to fight either Chambers or Povetkin Next – News
By Erik Schmidt: IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (53-3, 47 KO’s) has yet to let on who his next opponent will be for December 13th. It was thought that Wladimir would be fighting his International Boxing Federation mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin next but it may not necessarily turn out to be the case now. Klitschko, 33, recently made mention of being interested in fighting his WBO number #1 mandatory challenger Eddie Chambers (35-1, 18 KO’s) first rather than Povetkin.
Wladimir vs. Chambers Next?
By Jim Dower: According to Dan Rafael, IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (53-3, 49 KO’s) could be facing number #3 ranked IBF contender Eddie Chambers (35-1, 18 KO’s) next rather than Alexander Povetkin, Klitschko’s number #1 mandatory opponent. The word is that Povetkin’s assistant trainer Teddy Atlas wants to get Povetkin in another fight before Povetkin takes on Klitschko. That sounds like a good strategy by Atlas, because Povetkin, 28, has looked less than stellar in his last two fights, beating Taurus Sykes and Jason Estrada but getting hit a lot.
Wladimir’s Next two title Defenses – Povetkin and Chambers
By Dave Lahr: With Eddie Chambers decisive 12-round unanimous decision victory over number #1 ranked WBO heavyweight contender, Chambers solved the last piece of the puzzle for who will be IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko’s WBO mandatory challenger in early 2010. Klitschko, 33, now has Alexander Povetkin ahead of him later on this year for a mandatory challenger for Wladimir’s IBF heavyweight title, and then Chambers next year.
Chambers Not Impressive in Beating Dimitrenko
By Chris Williams Count me in as the lone voice of reason as far as heavyweight Eddie Chambers’ (35-1, 18 KO’s) 12-round majority decision victory over World Boxing Organization heavyweight contender Alexander Dimitrenko (29-1, 19 KO’s) on Saturday night at the Color Line Arena, in Hamburg, Germany. It’s good for Chambers to get the victory; I’ll give him that, because it does put him in as the mandatory challenger for WBO title holder Wladimir Klitschko for a fight sometime in 2010.
