This Saturday night at the Burg-Wächter Castello in Düsseldorf unbeaten WBO #1 heavyweight Alexander Dimitrenko (28-0, 18 KOs) will take on 37-year-old long time contender Luan Krasniqi (30-3-1, 14 KOs).
Here are some quotes from the different parties at the final press conference which took place at "Uerige," a local Düsseldorf brewery:
Dimitrenko Quotes
"It can't go wrong. I've had the best preparation and am psychologically at my best. I have the best trainer and God is behind me. Everything is good. I will win!"
Fritz Sdunek -Dimitrenko's Trainer Quotes
"We all know each other very well and this is one of the most unpopular and unpleasant intra-stall bouts. Everyones' nerves will be on edge even more than usual. Sascha is in the best physical and psychological condition. Whoever has the stronger psyche wins. One punch can decide it!"
Krasniqi Quotes
"I'm grateful that I got the chance to box against the #1 world ranked fighter. I also see it as Fritz Sdunek does, the better nerves will decide it. I've already had difficult times behind me and people have often said it was my 'last chance' but I'm still here. A person learns more from losses than from victories. Physically I feel like a 28-year-old. Vitali Klitschko is the same age as me and after a four year break he became world champion again. That is also my goal. I am up for this fight against the #1 as seldom before and want to win, no matter how!"
Valentin Silaghi-Krasniqi's New Trainer Quotes
"I've trained Luan now for more than a year. This fight was already set once. I admire my longtime friend, trainer Fritz Sdunek and have high respect for his work and his successes. For this fight, even though we already know them well, we've studied the DVDs and prepared very well for this fight. I hope that we have the better nerves!"
On the under card their will be a couple other heavyweight matches including a fight between unbeaten WBO #9/WBA #12 heavyweight Denis Boytsov (22-0, 18 KOs) and rugged warrior Vinny Maddalone (31-4, 22 KOs), and local heavyweight Markus Tomala (4-0, 2 KOs) against Jevgenijs Stamburskis (5-17, 1 KO).
