“Right now, I am on the road to being heavyweight champion of the world. I am real close to it. I’m only a fight or two away from being back there and the next logical step for me from where I just went, which is challenging for it, is to win it….Right now, they have no date yet, but yes, they are talking about Jean Marc Mormeck. I’m looking forward to it and I think it would be a good test as a comeback to see where I am at. I’m definitely prepared to fight again. What better way to be than to be right where I want to be with a win getting me back to a title shot,” stated heavyweight contender Eddie Chambers as he talked about his return to the ring, which is tentatively scheduled against former cruiserweight champion turned heavyweight Jean Marc Mormeck in a 4-man IBF elimination tournament.

EB: How you doing man?
EC: It’s been pretty good. Just training as usual; staying in shape. I’m getting ready to get back in there soon.
EB: Yeah I’ve been hearing rumors of an IBF Heavyweight tournament.
EC: Yeah, they talking about it going down. I just want to make sure I’m ready for it when it happens.
EB: After your fight with Klitschko, there had been rumors of you going down to cruiserweight. What happened with that?
EC: Well, I spoke with some people in boxing and it was an attractive thing at the time, you know, move down and dominate the cruiserweight division and get a couple world titles. You know, you being a world champion, no matter what weight it is in, is a great thing. I would love to have the opportunity to be champion at cruiserweight, which is a division not many people pay attention to, and still being a champion. It looked good, but then you look at the drawbacks to it for me. I’m a top rated heavyweight, only lost two fights, and arguably the one fight I lost, I should’ve won. It would be like going down…It would almost be like fighting a guy who isn’t even ranked, fighting like tomato cans in the heavyweight division just to get back up to get back into the limelight. I mean, they would be expecting me to win there. Everyone is expecting me to go down, win titles and dominate because I’ve heard it before and people would expect me to if I go there. I mean, the fights are going to be tough regardless and there are some good fighters down ther
