Sosnowski: ?I will shock the world!? PhilBoxing.com Thu, 13 May 2010 Vitali Klitschko defends WBC title on ?Fists Of Steel? PPV card May 29 HOBOKEN, N.J. (May 12, 2010) ? WBC title challenger Albert ?The Dragon? Sosnowski plans to become the first Polish Heavyweight Champion of the World when he fights defending champion Vitali ?Dr. Ironfist? Klitschko on May 29, headlining the ?Fists Of Steel? pay-per-view event, live from the 61,000-seat Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. ?I will shock the world? Sosnowski predicted. ?Everything happens for a reason and this is my time. Klitschko has ruled the heavyweight world long enough. I will win this fight for all of my Polish fans across the world.? ?Fists Of Steel,? presented by K2 Promotions and Klitschko Management Group, is being distributed in North America by Integrated Sports Media for live viewing at 3 PM/ET ? 12 PM/PT on both cable and satellite pay-per-view via iN Demand, DIRECTV, Avail-TVN and DISH Network in the United States, as well as Bell TV, Shaw PPV and Viewer?s Choice in Canada, for a suggested retail price of only $24.95. Sosnowski (45-2-1, 27 KOs), now fighting out of the United Kingdom, became the European champion by capturing the European Boxing Union heavyweight title in his last fight. He won a 12-round decision last December against Italian Olympian, Paolo Vidoz. ?Fighting Klitschko for the WBC world title is a dream-come-true for me,? Sosnowski remarked. ?It looked like an impossible dream when I first started boxing, but now it will happen on May 29th. Winning the world title will be more than a dream and then I will be on top of the world. ?It?s very important and a great honor for me to be fighting on pay per view in the United States. Fans in the U.S. know about great Polish boxers ? first Andrew Golota and now Tomasz Adamek. They have great names and unbelievable followings, packing arenas across the U.S., and I know that they will be supporting me 100-percent.? After a 4 year retirement, 3-time heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (39-2, 37 KOs) returned to the ring and regained his WBC championship belt by stopping Samuel Peter in 2008. He has since defended his title three times by stopping Juan Carlos Gomez and Chris Arreola, and winning every round against Kevin Johnson last December. ?Both of Klitschko?s hands are lethal and he has an awkward style,? said Sosnowki, who came into boxing from kick-boxing. ?He is powerful and tough. It?s difficult to find a sparring partner who can simulate him because nobody fights his way. From a technical standpoint, Klitschko makes tons of errors, but he?s very tough and intelligent in the ring. He never lets you fight your fight but I will find a way to capitalize on the mistakes he makes in the ring. ?I have nothing to lose and I know people aren?t giving me much of a chance. That?s okay, though, they don?t know what I can do or hard I?m training. I will aggressive and take risks against him because too many fighters have gone in the ring against Klitschko just to earn a pay-check. I will move sideways, trying to explore his defensive errors, and see what happens when he gets hit. Aggression, movement and speed are the keys for me to win. I will not just stand there and let him beat me like others did. It?s all or nothing for me.?  |
