When I finally caught up with WBA Champ Vitali Klitschko, I couldn't help but notice he was a bit horse, a scratchy throat if you will. Good Heaven's! The last thing we needed to hear that Vitali was going into his training camp with a cold or flu. Such was not the case and as Vitali went on to explain he was just enjoying the fruits of his labor! "I was singing yesterday, a long time with my friends, and today I lose my voice! But you know what? It's very good for soul and for body!"

 

Obviously the Champ is wearing his crown well and it is a comfortable fit. He is content sitting on top but at the same time, he is not complacent! "I am relaxed between the training, but in training I have to concentrate for the fight very much and I have to be in good, great shape, because the fight will be not so easy, I will prepare for most difficult fight of my career. I know how big heart have Danny Williams and I know he have great boxing skills and I know this fight will be for the real Heavyweight Championship of the World! I saw many fights from Danny Williams and I know he is a very good fighter and he was Great Britain Champion. You know, boxing is very popular in England and that is why it is not so easy to be

Champion in Great Britain and so I know he been in many great fights and Danny has great boxing skills!"

It seems as though Vitali is on a one man wrecking crew when it comes to fighting the best The United Kingdom has to offer, with his claim that he put Champion Lennox Lewis into retirement and now defending his own Title against another Brit, the likelihood of Williams having the weight of his country on his shoulders and the pressure that goes along with it, as well as the extra motivation, doesn't seem to worry Klitschko in the least! " You know what? I fight in World Championship against Herbie Hide, and I knock him out in second round and after that I never hear about him! Did you hear about him after that? I fought Lennox Lewis and I sent him to retirement, I feel like "Retire Maker"! I don't know if he think about all that or not, but to fight against the "Retire Maker" is very dangerous!"

In his closing statement to us, The good "Doctor" put on two different hats, one of a philosopher, and the other of a skillful promoter, "In my country we have a very interesting saying, ‘Never say you are the smart one, because sometime you are going to meet someone smarter than you, and never say you are pretty one because someday there will be someone much prettier than you, and never say you are stronger one because one day come somebody, and he will be stronger than you!' In this moment I am the strongest one, but with one punch game is over! I have a dream and I have a goal to stay World Champion for long time, and I give my best, to make my dream come true, but there is no guarantee and that's why people buy the tickets, that's why the people, they still come!"
