Vitaly Klitschko will hold the fourth defense of the championship title
On May 29, at the Veltins Arena, the German city of Gelsenkirchen, 38-year-old Ukrainian Vitaly Klitschko will defend his overweight world title according to the World Boxing Council (WBC). This time, his rival will be the 31-year-old Pole Albert Sosnovsky, who owns the title of European champion according to the not-known version of EBU-EU.The quintessence of the upcoming fight is a voluntary defense of the title. In other words, the champion himself found himself an opponent with all the ensuing features of the battle. At first, I must say, the eldest of the Klitschko brothers wanted to see the ex-champion of the world according to WBA, Russian Nikolai Valuev, and even threw him, figuratively speaking, glove. If Nikolai accepted the challenge, this, of course, would be a superbate, in which, probably, a less masterful Russian would be less likely to have a chance. But the representatives of both teams did not agree. The official reason - did not agree on the sum of the fee. And then Vitaly Klitschko, for whom the upcoming battle will become the 42nd in a professional ring (39 victories, 37 knockouts, two defeats) announced the name of the one who for $ 1 million agreed to act as his opponent during the fourth defense of the championship title.
Albert Sosnovsky, who lives in the UK, although he bears a formidable nickname Dragon, is little known to the general public. Moreover, even his 48 fights (45 victories, 27 knockouts, two defeats, one draw) are not impressive, because there were no top boxers among the rivals. The most famous among them was, perhaps, a serudy-servednyak Paolo Vidotz from Italy, who, at his 38 years (on the day of the fight), was no longer claimed.
Upon learning of the name of the opponent Vitaly Klitschko, Valuev only grinned, saying that this battle would end even before some German viewers have time to finish the first mug of beer. The promoter of the American boxer Eddie Chambers, whom the younger brother of Vitaly Vladimir, was more extensively expressed. “I’m sure,” he said, “that Vitaly perfectly understands the limitation of his opponent, but will do everything to convince his fans that Sosnovsky deserves this battle and the upcoming spectacle worthy of money spent on tickets.”
Vitaly really tries as he can. “The Polish boxer does not have a loud name,” he agrees, “but he will make him thanks to a battle with me. I saw his eyes, which, as you know, are a mirror of the soul. He really wants to win, and at the same time he is concentrated not on money, but only on the chance of becoming a world champion that I provided him. He is hungry to success and can hit well. ”
The last argument is from the category of those that heavy weight is a category in which everything can solve one blow. This is, to be honest, the only intrigue of the upcoming battle. Although, what a shouting in his soul, if the dragon would really pose a serious threat to a steel hammer, as Klitschko Sr. in the boxing world is called, would hardly have chosen him voluntarily by the Ukrainian.
In preparation for the fight, the novice politician Vitaly Klitschko managed to become the leader of the All -Ukrainian Party Blow (“Ukrainian Democratic Alliance for Reforms”), which, according to him, “knows how to solve problems in each particular area”
He knows, it seems that he will need to do in the ring on May 29 and Sosnovsky: “My time has come,” the Pole said. - Klitschko “managed” enough in the heavy division and today is already on the decline. I will win this battle for my Polish fans around the world, Klitschko fans will start and are upset. My motto: all or nothing! I have nothing to lose, so my chances are growing. I will fight aggressively, take risks, otherwise there is no victory. Many rivals Klitschko went out not to fight him, but to earn money or “survive”. That's why they lost. I will give all my best 100%. Vitaly never allows the opponent to fight, but I will find a way to use the mistakes that he makes in the ring. Aggressiveness and speed - that will help me become a champion. ”
But not everyone, as it turns out, divides this optimism: four days before the start of the battle into the 70,000th Veltins Arena, where a duel will take place, only 35 thousand tickets are sold.
