In just less than three weeks Ukrainian WBC champion Vitali Klitschko (42-2, 39 KOs) will defend his title against mandatory challenger Tomasz Adamek (44-1, 28 KOs) at a soccer stadium in Wroclaw, Poland. So far, 40,000 tickets were sold and there is no doubt that on the day of their fight - the entire stadium will be sold out. The fight is viewed as a struggle of strength vs. speed, with Adamek having the speed advantage with his quicker hands and feet, but Klitschko is confident and states - "I believe that I will knock Adamek out."
"Adamek moves around the ring perfectly, and he also has a big fighting heart. He is better than David Haye'and our struggle will certainly be better than my brother Wladimir's clash with the British fighter. I'm bigger, but I have to be faster and have better stamina. However, remember that I am the heavyweight boxer and I hit hard. Adamek says that speed is his advantage. So we'll see in the ring, which of us will be faster," Klitschko said.
