SCOTTSDALE, Arizona (August 17, 2011) - Former World Boxing Organization ("WBO") Heavyweight Champion Sergei "The White Wolf" Liakhovich is primed and set to challenge defending champion Robert "The Nordic Nightmare" Helenius for the WBO and World Boxing Association ("WBA") Inter-Continental titles, next Saturday (Aug. 27) in a 12-round bout airing live in the United States from Efurt, Germany on the EPIX cable network.

 

Liakhovich (25-3, 16 KOs), who lives in Arizona, departs this Saturday for Germany, where Helenius resides. An impressive victory against Helenius (15-0, 10 KOs) -- WBO #2, IBF #3, WBA #9, IBF #13 and No. 9 by The Ring - will set the stage for a major showdown with either of the current world title holders, Vitali or Wladimir Klitschko.

 

"I am ready and looking forward to August 27th," Liakhovich said in between recent training sessions. "Helenius is a good fighter. He does certain things in the ring very well, but my job is to take that away from him. I will beat him at what he does badly and will take away what he does well. Fans are going to see a high- quality level of boxing and fighting from me."
