WBC Challenger ready to rule
Undefeated German Manuel Charr is certain he has
everything in place to relieve Vitali Klitschko of his WBC heavyweight title on
September 8 and will then hope to defend the belt against former WBA champion
David Haye.
The 27 year-old (21-0, 11 KO's) faces his toughest challenge since turning professional
in 2005 next month against the formidable ‘Dr. Ironfist’ and is currently
putting the finishing touches to a gruelling training camp.
“I am well prepared and looking forward to the fight of my
life. I can hardly wait!” Charr told World Boxing News.
"I am sure I have the tools to hurt Vitali. I have been
keeping an eye on him for ten years now and I am looking forward to finally get
in the ring with him.
“I studied his fight against Dereck Chisora (which Klitschko
won over twelve rounds in February) and have drawn my conclusions, but for the
time being I like to keep it to myself.”
The ‘Diamond Boy’ was an unexpected visitor to Chisora’s defeat to Haye at Upton Park in London last month and is optimistic he made enough of an impact on the ‘Hayemaker’ by calling him out for a fight in early 2013 at the post-fight press conference.
“I just wanted to tell Haye that I am here and I would like
to fight against him one day, so I took the opportunity, that’s it,” he
explained.
“But I am having a fight on the 8th and that is what I am
concentrating on. After I beat Mr. Klitschko, I will give thought to it
(fighting Haye).
“All I know is I will be the next world heavyweight
champion. I am training hard for this moment and am very well prepared.”
