FISCHER SPARS BOWE, FIGHTS ON KLITSCHKO CARD

Manager Olaf Schroeder today officially confirmed reports by HR television that Fight Production’s only current German boxer, comebacking heavyweight Willi ‘De Ox’ Fischer, will finally take the next step with an appearance on the Klitschko vs Rahman ‘world’ heavyweight title undercard on December 13. Fischer, 35-6-1 (22 KO’s) and from Frankfurt, will bring many of his fans to near-by Mannheim, where K2 (the Klitschko brothers promotional company) stage the show at the SAP-Arena. While the opponent, whom Fight Production expects to announce later this week, should be a test (“We can only keep Willi interested when he feels the opponent poses some threat,” says trainer Tom Leidenheimer), he certainly won’t be as prolific as the 36-year-old Fischer’s training partner, who is none other than former undisputed world heavyweight champion Riddick ‘Big Daddy’ Bowe!

Bowe is currently training in Germany with the goal of himself getting back in the ring on the same show as Fischer – and according to Fischer’s trainer in decent shape! The American has already passed all medicals of the German Federation and his sparring sessions with Fischer are “a treat to watch,” said Leidenheimer, “and Willi is really profiting from it, what with all those moves and experience that Bowe brings. These are the best sparrings ever since I started training with Willi and the comeback with Fight Production.”.

Fischer’s fight will be scheduled for eight rounds – and should be the final step before some title opportunity, or at least a very meaningful outing. Manager Schroeder explains: “Willi needs and wants challenges, make-or-break fights. There’s no point in re-building for another year or so, we need to go for our goals now quickly and if we lose, we lose, but the whole purpose of Willi’s comeback was to try for the top and that’s what we intend.”

SCOTT WOOLFORD showed he was for real against Matthew Hatton last time out.
 
Now the exciting Ramsgate boxer bids to show promoter Frank Maloney he doesn't need to look any further for his next superstar.
 
Maloney stages his next non-televised 'Search For A Star' bill at York Hall, Bethnal Green on Saturday November 15.
 
Although former Maloney promoted fighter David Haye will be hogging the headlines at the O2 Arena on the same night, Maloney reckons fans will get proper value for money at his show.
 
Maloney, who guided Haye to the world cruiserweight title said: "People accuse promoters with TV contracts of not taking risks, but I'm going up against what is supposedly one of the biggest nights in London boxing this year.
 
"One thing for sure is that at York Hall you will be guaranteed non-stop excitement and 50-50 fights."
 
Woolford, 25, who dropped a narrow points verdict to Ricky Hatton's younger brother in September meets Colchester's Tom Glover (5-5-3) for the vacant Southern Area welterweight title over ten rounds..
 
Ramsgate's Woolford (8-2) hopes a win against 27-year-old Glover will book him a place in the next series of British welterweight title eliminators.
 
Maloney added: "Scott boxed magnificently against Matthew and I feel he deserved a draw for his performance.
 
"He surprised me and that is why I am really going to push him over the next 12 months."
 
Also on the bill is leading British light-middleweight contender Gary Woolcombe. He boxes Matt Scriven, who makes a living as a private security guard in war torn Iraq.
 
And there is sure to be explosive action when Medway heavyweight Tom Dallas (2-0) and Larry 'The War Machine' Olubamiwo (1-0) box four rounders against selected opponents
 
Body Beautiful Olubamiwo who is 6ft 5in and almost 19 stone looked sensational on his debut last month stopping Vlado Szabo in the first round of a contest televised live on Sky Sports.
 
Maloney predicts: "Dallas v 'The War Machine' will be one the best heavyweight match-ups in Britain in about 18 months."
