Juergen Braehmer says Eduard Gutknecht talks too much and will pay the price on Saturday night

Juergen Braehmer forgot his world title belt but not his sense of humour at the press conference for his clash with Eduard Gutknecht.

The 37-year-old WBA world light-heavyweight champion (47-2-KO35) meets fellow German Gutknecht (29-3-1-KO12) for the second time, live on Sky Sports on Saturday night, having won a hard-fought points decision in February 2013.

Although Braehmer's strap was conspicuous by its absence, the champion laughed: "Eduard talks too much. He reminds me of my wife. Everything he says goes in one ear and out the other.

"This fight is very special for me. Not only will I shut Gutknecht up once and for all, I will also celebrate my 50th fight by defending my title in front of thousands of fans at the Jahnsportforum."

Gutknecht, who is four years Braehmer's junior, feels he has been misrepresented in the lead-up to the clash in Neubrandenburg.

The challenger said: "I don't know how Juergen and his team can label me a dirty fighter. I'm not a dirty fighter but I promise one thing: I'm willing to do whatever it takes to win.

"I respect Braehmer's achievements but I'm the younger, hungrier fighter and on Saturday night it's my time to shine."

Promoter Kalle Sauerland said: "This fight has all the makings of a classic. A rematch between two domestic rivals with a world title on the line."

You can watch Braehmer v Gutknecht live on Sky Sports 2 this Saturday from 9.45pm.  Or watch live on NOW TV for £6.99, no contract.
