Corrie Sanders back for More

[Argentina]

Former WBO heavyweight champion Corrie Sanders will make his return to the ring in Magdeburg, Germany on January 15 Universum Box-Promotion announced today. The big hitting South African believes that despite being 38 years old he is still one of the most dangerous heavyweights in the world. “I want to become world champion again”, said Sanders.

“At best I would like to fight Wladimir Klitschko right away,” added Sanders who holds a 39-3 record.
Sanders won the WBU heavyweight title in 1997 with a unanimous decision over Ross Puritty and defended the belt three times, against Bobby Czyz, Jorge Valdes and Alfred Cole before losing it to Hasim Rahman.

On March 8, 2003 he scored the biggest victory of his career by knocking out reigning WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko in Hanover, Germany.

Later he vacated the WBO belt and fought against Vitali Klitschko for the vacant WBC title on April 24 in Los Angeles. Klitschko stopped Sanders in round 8.

On the same event where Sanders makes his comeback on Jan. 15 at Bördelandhalle in Magdeburg flyweight world championesse Regina Halmich and European light heavyweight champion Thomas Ulrich will be highlighted.

He wants to fight Wladmir again? I wonder why. This is pathetic. This guy was beaten badly by Vitali, exposed for his shortcomings, and wants more? Some people will do anything for a buck.

Sanders is a good fighter, and one of the hardest hitting southpaws ever. He has a huge hcance to beat anyone out there except for Vitali and maybe Byrd. I support him fighting on and I wish him luck on Jan. 15th.

If Byrd stands in front of Sanders like he did Golota, he's gone, period. Even in his present condition, he's fast enough to catch Byrd coming in to hit him, and yes, he does slow down considerably later in the fight, but his sudden flurries are deadly, if not for VK's height, he would have been hit with alot of those shots, and few Heavies can lean back to the extent that VK can. Don't count him out, with the HW division the way it is, Foreman could still make some waves, so Sanders most certainly could.

I definitely agree, but I do not think that Byrd would be that reckless to stand in front of Sanders. Against Mchline he did not, and he jsut wanted to show the fans in the fights against Oquendo and Golota that he could stand in there like that. I think the fight against Mcline geave him back some credibility. Against Sanders he would be weary, but I think Sanders would catch him, of course Byrd has a great chin. If sanders trains hard he could TKO Byrd, and maybe KNockhim out, as Byrd might be confused by fighting another southpaw.
