Klitschko: No mercy for Austin!
"I won't underestimate Austin, but there will be no mercy in the ring," vowed IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko at Tuesday's press conference kicking off his March 10 clash against mandatory challenger Ray Austin in Mannheim, Germany. Promoter Don King, representing Austin, was at his cantankerous best, predicting that Austin would end Klitschko's career, giving Wlad "plenty of time to play golf." King added that a smart man with a doctorate like Klitschko could then become a teacher or a doctor. Klitschko said he didn't wish to comment on King's statements. Austin told Klitschko that the 13,500-seat SAP Arena "looks like a good place to get kayoed."
