The \u2018Iron Man\u2019 is looking forward to an immediate return having previously suffered periods of inactivity due to illness and injury.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2019It seems that all my bad luck has run out,\u2019\u2019 joked Hernandez. \u2018\u2019After my last fight I was able to get straight back into the gym and start preparing for my next challenge. This has been the first time I\u2019ve been able to do that since early 2011, when I beat Herelius. Now, I want to show everyone that I belong at the top of the cruiserweight division by beating my mandatory challenger Afolabi.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Afolabi is no stranger to German boxing fans having previously made life difficult for WBO Champion Marco Huck. The American-based Brit scored one draw and two narrow losses in a memorable trilogy against Hernandez\u2019s long-time training mate.<\/p>\n<p>Hernandez\u2019s coach Ulli Wegner, who was in Huck\u2019s corner for each of his encounters with Afolabi, has offered the following warning to his prot\u00e9g\u00e9 ahead of the world championship clash in Oldenburg. \u2018\u2019Afolabi knows every trick in the book \u2013 he\u2019s a very experienced fighter,\u2019\u2019 said the legendary 72 year-old coach. \u2018\u2019If Pablo turns up at anything less than 100% he could be in serious trouble.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Hernandez, who also holds the prestigious \u2018Ring Magazine\u2019 cruiserweight title, has attempted to ease his coach\u2019s concerns, promising: \u2018\u2019On December 6, I will give Mr. Wegner his first clear victory in a fight against Afolabi!\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Tickets for the Team Sauerland show at the EWE Arena in Oldenburg are available at eventim.de.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/?p=39299\"><span style=\"font-size: large; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">RSR Is NOW Hiring Boxing Writers<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo by Winfried Mausolf Boxing fans can look forward to a double-header of world championship action on December 6 at the EWE Arena in Oldenburg, Germany.
