Gomez: I want Klitschko!
Tuesday, December 12, 2006
On Friday Heavyweight contender Juan Carlos Gomez returns to the ring. His opponent at the Alsterdorfer Sporthalle in Hamburg, Germany, is Daniel Frank of Brazil. Gomez and Frank already fought four years ago in Berlin, with Frank losing by TKO in the second round. First choice for Gomez' first fight under the promotional banner of Arena Box-Promotion was former cruiserweight champion Kelvin Davis, who pulled out.
"We've got big plans with Juan Carlos" says Ahmet Oener, head of Arena Box-Promotion. "I'm sure, he will fight for the heavyweight title in 2007."
Gomez' coach Phil Paolina told the fight writers at a press conference in Hamburg: "Juan is in good shape. He learned a few new tricks. In the next year he will be the heavyweight champion of the world."
Gomez told the press, "I never took *******! They've stolen me one year of my life. But on Friday everybody will see that I'm capable of big things, even after this long break. It's my goal to fight IBF champion Wladimir Klitschko for the title. With this fight I could earn the big money."
