Heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (56-3, 49 KO's) will be fighting his hand-picked opponent 39-year-old Jean Marc Mormeck (36-4, 22 KO's) in a fight at the Esprit Arena in Dusseldorf, Germany.
Wladimir, 35, is saying this is the best opponent he could find out of the top 20 list of contenders. After handing David Haye a decisive loss in July, Wladimir Klitschko is moving on to meet Jean Marc Mormeck in a Dusseldorf ring, in many ways, the fight highlights the problems facing Dr. Steelhammer in the future, because while Mormeck is a good fighter, it is hard to describe him as a credible heavyweight contender. Mormeck is a prime example of the boxing traditions of France. In crusierweight terms, he is a strong boxer-puncher with solid chin, good skills and ring smarts.
