Next week Vitali Klitschko starts his full-time training camp for the bout with Kevin Johnson on December 12. Until December 6 the Ukrainian boxer will train in the Austrian mountains. Though the WBC heavyweight champion has been keeping himself in shape in Kiev as well.

“Everybody wants me to go someplace to prepare for the fight, - told Klitschko to 1+1 Channel. – But I have already started my preparation, if I’m talking to you now dressed in suit and tie it doesn’t mean that I don’t keep myself in shape. Every day at six in the morning I go to the gym for the training session”.

“The Americans send their contender again, - continued Vitali with irony – "They want to return the belt to their country. But I’ll do everything to retain this belt”.

Also Klitschko shared his opinion on the upcoming fight between Nikolay Valuev and David Haye for the WBA heavyweight title. Nikolay recently claimed that the Ukrainian tried to avoid meeting him at all costs. Vitali, in his turn, doubted the fairness of judges’ decisions in Valuev’s fights.

“I think this bout will go the distance, - told Klitschko – "Maybe Haye will look a little better than Valuev, but the judges will unwillingly hand the victory to Valuev by split decision. They’ll have to do it because the fight takes place in Germany, because Valuev is promoted by Wilfried Sauerland and Don King. Of course, I don’t know it for sure, it’s just my assumption that the bout will end this way. 

To tell you the truth, I’ll be cheering for Valuev for one reason – he’s such a picturesque character to fight with."
