Chambers is the current WBO #1 and the official challenger. On fight night, the arena, homefield of 2. Bundesleague Club Fortuna D\u00fcsseldorf, will have a capacity of 51.000 seats. \u201cI am really happy to be back in the ring,\u201d said Klitschko. \u201cI have only good memories of D\u00fcsseldorf, my only fight there I won by TKO. This fight is going to take place in a giant stadium. The audience of over 50,000 spectators is a further motivation for me. Chambers is currently the best heavyweight boxer from the US.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>27-year old Philadelphian Chambers won a world title eliminator against odds-on favourite Alexander Dimitrenko (Universum Boxing). A few months before, he had beaten previous WBC champion Samuel Peter. \u201cI worked very hard for this championship fight. In the way I surprised Dimitrenko I am going to take Klitschko by surprise and will collect his three belts. This is a great chance. He is the favourite, but I am confident and take his belts to the US.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s Klitschko\u2019s first fight since his title defense against Ruslan Chagaev in June 2009 in front of 61,000 spectators in Gelsenkirchen, Germany (TKO 9).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Esprit arena is a state-of-the-art stadium and we are looking forward to presenting another boxing event in a football stadium,\u201d said Bernd B\u00f6nte, Managing Director of the Klitschko Management Group. \u201cTogether with the officials of the arena, who are very supportive in any way, we are planning a great event with well-priced tickets and expect to have a sold out venue.\u201d<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Ticket sale starts on January 28th at 3 p.m. German time exclusively on www.eventim.de.
