American contender insists he can take Klitschko's belts
American contender Eddie Chambers is aiming to shock the world when he takes on Wladimir Klitschko on Saturday night.
The 27-year-old meets the heavyweight champion in Duesseldorf with the IBF, WBO and Ring heavyweight titles on the line.
Chambers, with a record of 35 wins out of 36 fights, will be hoping to wear his giant opponent down.
The Pittsburgh-born fighter is not known as a big puncher, with only 18 of his 35 victories coming by way of knockout.
But he believes he can beat the Ukrainian champion given his superb preparation for the fight.
"I have never prepared better for a fight. Now I want to shock the world and take the title belts off Klitschko," he said.
Klitschko wary
"I will not do what others have tried. I want this victory."
Klitschko, who is 13 centimetres taller than Chambers and 15 kilos heavier, is wary of his younger challenger's speed.
But the German-based fighter, who boasts a record of 53 victories and three defeats with his last loss in 2004, is determined to keep hold of his belts.
He said: "Eddie may not be the tallest boxer but he is enormously fast and difficult to box against.
"He is extremely dangerous, super fast, very agile, very athletic and above all he has his mind set on taking the title away.
"But I will not allow that. I have to work hard with my punches."
