A pair of heavyweight champions weighed in this afternoon at Madison Square Garden.
First up was Sultan Ibragimov, the WBO heavyweight titlist, who tipped the scales at 219 pounds. Next was Wladimir Klitschko, the IBF belt holder. He weighed in at 238 pounds.
"I am going to win the fight," said Klitschko. "I am determined to win this fight. The fight is scheduled for 12 rounds, but I doubt it will go the distance.
I'm the lightest I've ever been but I feel strong and energetic. I feel great!"
Ibragimov countered by saying, "I feel fantastic. The weight is fantastic, perfect!"
The unification heavyweight championship match is set for the Garden on Saturday night and will be televised by HBO. -- CASSIDY
