The Neutral Corner

WBC Champion Samuel Peter (30-1, 23 KOs) set up training camp in Freiburg, Germany for his Oct. 11 showdown against former champion Vitali Klitschko. The bout will be televised by Showtime from Berlin.

The heavyweight title fight is part of an interesting doubleheader, during which Showtime will broadcast two fights from two locations. The other bout pits Antonio Tarver against Chad Dawson in a light heavyweight title match from Las Vegas.

Peter, known as the "Nigerian Nightmare," has enjoyed a month-long camp and is in tremendous shape as he winds down and readies to depart for Berlin. He enjoyed the experience of training in the middle of the Black Forest.

"I love it here in Germany. The people and the scenery have been beautiful," said Peter in a press release. "I intend on beating Vitali in his own backyard and to show that I am the true champion I decided to train in his backyard. No matter where this fight is I will not be defeated. I hope his brother Wladimir is in attendance to watch him get knocked out."

"I've been chopping down trees in the Black Forest in preparation for Vitali Klitschko," added Peter. "On October 11th, I am going to chop down a Ukrainian tree named Vitali."
