The best heavyweight of the last decade, the Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko, is one victory away from breaking the record of the legendary Joe Louis - 26 victories in matches for the professional title.
And the obstacle to the Ukrainian's record, tonight around 23 pm in Dusseldorf, will be the undefeated Briton Tyson Fury.
"This time I will have a fierce rival in front of me. A young and fighter ready to pass a real test of his capabilities. And I hear that he is worried, and that is a sign of excellent preparation. I am also worried before every fight and ready to meet new challenges. I'm really happy that the fight will take place on Saturday because Fury will soon face reality. It's coming slowly and it will catch up with him tonight in the ring. I don't know exactly how Fury is feeling, but he looks motivated, but most of all bored as during previous encounters. And it doesn't matter what he will say, because every story at the conferences has no meaning and the only thing that will count is the result of the fight," said the world champion in the IBF, WBA, WBO and IBO versions, Vladimir Klitschko, who celebrated in the professional ring 64 times, with three defeats.
At the official measurement, he weighed 111,5 kilograms, 500 grams less than the Briton.
"He has achieved a lot in boxing, he has reached the absolute top with the number of title wins like Joe Louis, but his record will not be broken. I will send Klitschko to sleep in the 6th round. It will be a quick, sharp knockout - emphasized the 27-year-old Fury , who is as tall as 206 centimeters and celebrated in all 24 matches, 18 times by knockout".
However, bookmakers believe incomparably more in the victory of the 12 years older and eight centimeters shorter Ukrainian, because the coefficient on the champion is only 1,20, and Fury 4,5.
The match will be broadcast in 150 countries, and TV B92 announced a live broadcast from the "Esprit Arena" stadium in Dusseldorf at 23 p.m. The stadium has a capacity of 55.000 spectators.
