Felix Sturm and Daniel Geale Press Conference – Boxing News
WBA middleweight super champion Felix Sturm and IBF middleweight super champion Daniel Geale were present at a press conference for their title unification bout, which will be taking place coming Saturday at the KoenigPilsener-Arena in Oberhausen, Germany.
Contrary to the usual, Sturm and Geale were quite respectful towards each other. When asked about the showdown, Sturm revealed he had been dreaming about it for years and it is finally here.
“I’ve been dreaming about this fight for many, many years,” said Sturm.
“Now I’m here and my dream is coming true. I will do my best to impose my tactics on him and make him pay for his mistakes. He is a great fighter but I’m quite sure that I’ll win on Saturday night.”
On the other hand, Geale was more relaxed and not as much excited.
“I love fighting over here,” said Geale, “(Strum) He is one of the best fighters in the world but I’m sure that I can and will beat him.”
Most of the time, both fighters were calm until Sturm was asked about Arthur Abraham, who recently grabbed the WBO super-middleweight title from Robert Stieglitz.
“He fought the worst of the titleholders at 168,” said Sturm for Abraham. “As soon as he will fight another top guy, he will lose again. They are using my name to get attention but I don’t care, I know I’m the better fighter. Besides, I don’t believe he
would fight me anytime soon.”
Furthermore, Sturm added that his mind is set on fighting Geale but he admitted that if offered the chance, he would fight Abraham any day.
For now, Sturm and Geale are excited for the Saturday night title unification showdown. Both fighters are at their best right now. Sturm stands with 37 wins, 2 losses and 2 ties in his portfolio, whereas Daniel Geale stands with 27 wins, 1 loss and 0 ties
in his portfolio.
Sturm believes the fight is going to be exciting and enthralling for fans. He is hopeful of winning the showdown, as he wants to be the one to unite the titles.
