FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PHILADELPHIA (April 6, 2009)—World ranked Heavyweight contender, “Fast” Eddie Chambers believes he should be next in-line to face WBA Heavyweight champion Nikolai Valuev.
Chambers, 34-1 with eighteen knockouts is coming off a huge victory when he scored a majority decision victory over former WBC champion Samuel Peter on March 27th in Los Angeles.
“I feel I am the most deserving contender out there”, said Chambers.
“Look at my resume compared to some of these guys getting title shots. I have beaten guys like Dominic Guinn, Calvin Brock and Samuel Peter. I am the first man that does not have the last name of Klitschko to defeat Peter.”
Chambers has not rested on his laurels since defeating Peter just over a week ago and he is already back in the gym waiting for his deserved opportunity.
“I have worked so hard to get to this point and with the big prize just a fight away, it has motivated me to the point that I wanted to fight for the title the morning after the Peter fight.”
“My promoter Dan Goossen has done some great things for me and I know he will work hard to secure the coveted world title challenge. I know the Klitschko’s are tied up with other fights, so I think a fight with Valuev would be a great fight considering our contrast of styles.
There have been rumblings that Valuev (50-1, 34 KO’s) may make a voluntary defense of his WBA “Interim” Heavyweight crown.
“If Valuev makes that voluntary defense, there is no better fighter in the world that deserves this shot more then the man who just beast the former WBC champion Samuel Peter and that’s “Fast” Eddie Chambers”, said Dan Goossen of Goossen-Tutor Promotions.
