WLADIMIR KLITSCHKO:
“Chisora is very young, determined and does not know how far he can go. This is an advantage for him and dangerous to me. I will teach him a lesson in the ring – mentally, psychologically and physically. For me, Chisora is much better than David Haye and much more complicated to box.”
