Looks like the current WBO/IBF/IBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko could be fighting the current WBO #1 mandatory challenger "Fast" Eddie Chambers on December 12th, 2009. The original WBO mandatory challenger was Alexander Dimitrenko, but Chambers recently fought Dimitrenko in what Alexander thought would be just another good opponent on his resume and Chambers ended up winning the fight. The fight will most likely be in Germany and will be broadcast on HBO.
Many thought that Wladimir would face the IBF mandatory Alexander Povetkin, but it is said that Povetkin is listening to his new trainer Teddy Atlas and will plan on fighting one more time before stepping in the ring with Wladimir Klitshcko. So most likely it appears that Wladimir Klitschko and Chambers will fight on December 12th.
Chambers Quotes
"I've been thinking about this happening for - you don't want to know how long. I've worked really hard to get here. Now all I need to do is cash in."
Chambers' Trainer and Manager Quotes
"Eddie has no fear of fighting big guys. In a way Dimitrenko was the perfect guy to fight before we fight Klitschko. He [Dimitrenko] may even be more athletic than Klitschko."
Should be a great fight, but no way is Dimitrenko more athletic than Wladimir. That is a joke I hope even from Chambers' trainer and manager!
