Wladimir Klitschko turns down David Haye to set up clash with Jean-Marc Mormeck – Boxing news
Wladimir Klitschko, who is the current WBA (Super), IBF, WBO Super, IBO and Ring Magazine Champion, has finally confirmed he will defend his world heavyweight titles against the Frenchman Jean-Marc ‘The Marksman’ Mormeck in December 2011, which has put David
Haye’s future in further trouble.
The 6 ft 6” Ukrainian giant, Wladimir, who is widely known as Dr. Steelhammer, will take on Mormeck on December 10, 2011 at the ESPRIT Arena in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Wladimir, who has won 56 of his 59 professional fights, with 49 of his wins coming by the way of a knockout, is excited about his upcoming clash as he is hoping Mormeck will provide him with a tough fight. Wladimir said he cannot even think taking Mormeck
lightly.
“Mormeck is one of the most experienced fighters I have ever faced. He has had many world title fights, has a very good technique, can take a lot of punches and is very intelligent inside the ring. To underestimate him would be a fatal mistake. I am very
happy to return to the ESPRIT Arena where I fought against Eddie Chambers,” Wladimir said.
Wladimir will enter the ring as a red-hot favourite against Mormeck and he admitted it but on the same note, he remarked he always gets to fight his opponent in his best shape.
“I know that I am the favorite in all my fights but I also know that each opponent is motivated to be in the best shape ever when he fights me,” Wladimir added.
The Hayemaker, Haye, lost to Wladimir via unanimous points’ decision on July 2, 2011 in a much-anticipated unification bout for the heavyweight titles. The 30-year-old brash Londoner since then was desperate to avenge his defeat, as he stated he will walk
away from the sport if Wladimir does not give him a rematch. Now when Wladimir has officially announced he is going to fight the former cruiserweight champion Mormeck, let’s see what Haye does.
