Undefeated Polish heavyweight star Mariusz ?The Polish Giant? Wach and Jonathan Haggler exchanged fighting words at the press conference at North Bergen, NJ?s Global Boxing Gym to announce their WBC Baltic Heavyweight title matchup on Saturday, February 19 at Essex County College in Newark, NJ. The ten-round heavyweight matchup will headline "The Brick City Brawl", which is promoted by Global Boxing Promotions and Prize Fight Promotions. Wach, 23-0 (11 KO), of Krakow, Poland is training with former three-time heavyweight champion Michael Moorer for this bout and is very confident in his preparation for the biggest fight of his career to date. ?I feel like a new fighter after working with my new trainer,? said Wach, who represented Poland in the 2004 Summer Olympics. ?I can?t wait to have my fans watch this fight on Saturday.? ?I think it will be an easy fight because I know what [Wach] is capable of doing,? said Moorer, who trained Wach for two months down in Memphis, TN at the Prize Fight Gym. ?We?ve had a great camp and this fight won?t go long.? Haggler, who came all the way from Winston-Salem, NC for this bout, didn?t come to New Jersey to lay down, however. ?I agree with Michael, it will be an easy fight,? said Haggler confidently. ?I don?t go the distance, so someone is going down.?

McDermott (8-2, 3 KO) is looking to show boxing fans that he is rejuvenated after a long break as he prepares to face Atlantic City, NJ?s Osnel Charles (6-2) in a six-round lightweight bout. ?I?ve had a great training camp and I?m ready to put on a great fight,? said McDermott, a father of two and a graduate of the New York Film Academy. ?I?m expecting a tough fight but am ready for whatever my opponent brings.?
