On March 20, 2010 in Germany – Wladimir Klitschko retains his status as the worlds top heavyweight with a 12th round KO win over Fast Eddie Chambers. Not much to report from rounds 1 – 11 as neither man were very active though Klitschko won every round with sheer strength and aggression. Chambers corner’s advise every round seemed to be something like “go out there and fight!”.
Dr. Steel Hammer picked up the pace – going for a KO in the 12th and got it with :12 left in the round with a nasty left hook that put Fast Eddie down for the count. After the fight Chambers did seem to have no lasting effects of the knockout. Keep your head up Eddie!
The countdown begins we are only days away from “Fast” Eddie Chambers (35-1, 18 KOs) finally getting his shot at the IBF/WBO/IBO World heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (53-3, 47 KOs). The scene is the ESPRIT arena Düsseldorf, Germany March 20th.
The media tour has been non stop as Eddie and Rob Murray have told everyone who will listen that they WILL come home with the titles!

Fast” Eddie Chambers (35-1, 18 KOs) is working hard in the Pocono’s as he prepares for this his long awaited crack at IBF/WBO/IBO world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (53-3, 47 KOs) on March 20th at ESPRIT arena Düsseldorf, Germany.
Chambers is the current WBO #1 contender and his coach Rob Murray says they have the formula to shock the world. My question is, is there a snowballs chance in hell that Chambers will get a fair shake in Germany if the fight goes to the scorecards??
No TV has been confirmed just yet but I am sure someone will pick this up. Hopefully we can get a chance to see Eddie attempt to become the first Philly Heavyweight champ in quite some time. Stay tuned for more info….
On July 4th, “Fast” Eddie Chambers got the job done in a big way when he picked apart Germany heavyweight Alexander Dimitrenko over 12 rounds in their WBO title eliminator bout. It was an impressive performance that now has many believing the Eddie is truly the top American Heavyweight out there. Congrats to the former King of the Blue who is now making his presence felt across the globe.
Philly Middleweight contender Lajuan Simon (21-1-2, 12 KOs), once again heads out to Germany for an important fight in the divisional standings. This time he will square off against Sebastian Sylvester (30-3, 15 KOs), of Greifswald, Germany for a twelve round IBF middleweight eliminator at Max Schmeling Halle in Berlin, Germany. Simon, ranked #10 by the IBF, and Sylvester, ranked #5, will battle for the vacant #2-spot in the IBF rankings. The shot is a reward of sorts for Simon, who fought tooth and nail with IBF world champion Arthur Abraham in a title challenge last March, only to lose a lopsided decision. Many neutral observers felt that Simon deserved perhaps a draw. Sylvester dropped a decision to Felix Sturm in a WBA title challenge last November, but bounced back to win the IBF International title in his next bout.

All accounts say that Simon held his own with the champ and had some very good offensive spots along with showing a strong chin. Simon suffers his first loss but you can bet that he will be back!
Former Philly world champion Charles “The Hatchet” Brewer knows all about fighting for and defending titles overseas in enemy territory. Hatchet had a chance to get a few words in with LaJuan about his upcoming fight against the man many feel is the best middleweight in the world. Read it here
USBA Middleweight champion LaJuan Simon (20-0-2, 12ko’s) just got an opportunity of a lifetime as he was offered a crack at Arthur Abraham’s 28-0, 23ko’s) IBF Middleweight title on March 14th. The fight will take place at Ostseehalle, Kiel, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany which is Abraham’s backyard. It’s a big jump up for Simon who most recently plowed through anonymous journeyman Jose Spearman while Abraham was last seen blowing out big named Edison Miranda on national TV. It’s a tall task for the Philly native going into enemy territory but stranger things have happened.
