KIEV, Oct. 6 -- Ukrainian heavyweight boxer Vladimir Klitchko will defend his WBA, IBF and WBO titles against French Jean-Marc Mormeck in Germany on Dec. 10, the press-service of Klitchko's brothers announced on Thursday on its official website.
"Mormeck is one of the most experienced opponents, whom I have ever met. He had a lot of championship fights. He is technically strong and intelligent boxer. I promise that this fight will be very interesting and exciting," Klitschko was quoted in a statement as saying.
Klitchko's 20th world champions fight will take place at the home stadium of football club Fortuna ESPRIT Arena in Dusseldorf.
The 39-year-old Mormeck who has 36 wins from 40 professional fights, is a former WBC and WBA champion. He has won all his fights since 2009, after his moving to the heavyweight division.
