FAST EDDIE SETS THE DATE Philadelphia's Eddie Chambers, the #1 contender for the heavyweight championship, will fight Wladimir Klitschko for that title on March 20th. Chambers claimed the top spot in the (WBO) rankings with a 12-round decision over Alexander Dimitrenko in an elimination bout staged in Germany last July. He also beat former champ Sam Peter in 2009, which makes him a leading contender for the Briscoe Award next year. Chambers, 38-1 / 18 KO, will return to Germany for the Klitschko fight, at a venue that has yet to be named. Klitschko, 53-3 / 47 KO, will defend his IBF, WBO, & IBO title collection for the 8th time against "Fast Eddie", who will attempt to become Philly's first heavyweight champ since Tim Witherspoon held the WBA belt in 1986. |
