WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko is not taking any chances with his May 29 opponent, Albert Sosnowski. Even though Sosnowski is a huge underdog in the fight, Vitali is training very hard and prepared for anything that might happen. Over 30,000 tickets have been sold and a crowd of 40-50,000 is expected to pack the Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.
"This will be a great fight. It will be a battle. Sosnowski doesn't have a big name like Muhammad Ali but he's very tough, he's hungry and I expect that this will not be an easy fight. It will be a real heavyweight championship [fight]. That's why I've prepared so tough for this fight and I'm sure everyone who comes will enjoy the fight," Klitschko told BoxingScene.com's Misko Ceperkovic.
Regarding the ongoing fight negotiations between his younger brother Wladimir and David Haye - Vitali told BoxingScene he thinks the talkative British fighter is stalling for time because he knows either Klitschko will end his career with a brutal knockout. Vitali says a fight against his younger brother will be worse, because Wladimir wants to punish him for twelve rounds before the knockout.
"Haye knows that against a Klitschko, there is only one end - he will be knocked out from my brother or from me. From me he will have luck [because] I will knock him out in a couple of rounds. Wladimir will knock him [out] in eleven or twelve rounds. For Wladimir it's personal, he wants to fight him very much and David Haye knows it means the end of his career. He will lose the title, he will lose everything. He just has a big mouth and nothing more," Klitschko told BoxingScene.com.
