Brewster asks Golota to play fair

Post by josh fg »

Brewster needs a career-boosting display in Chicago
WBO heavyweight champion Lamon Brewster has warned Andrew Golota not to fight dirty when the pair meet on Saturday.
"Powerful Pole" Golota has courted his share of controversy in the ring, noteably against Mike Tyson in 2000.

"All the pressure is on Golota - if he fights dirty, it'll look so bad for Chicago. No-one should be champion by using dirty tactics," said Brewster.

"I'm coming to give Chicago a great show. There hasn't been a heavyweight title fight here in 24 years."

Brewster, who has shrugged off a knee injury, refused to get too personal ahead of the bout.

I want to be world champion and unify the titles - there are too many champions

"Unless people living in Poland have six arms and four legs, we're all the same. I got one heart and I hope you got one.

"I'm confident and ready mentally. I don't have to growl or talk about eating anybody's kids."

Golota has talked up his chances of finally landing a world heavyweight title after losing previous challenges to Lennox Lewis (WBC), Chris Byrd (IBF) and John Ruiz (WBA) - the last of which he believes was a terrible decision.

"I think this is the right fight and the right fighter - I have wanted this very bad my whole life," said Golota.

"Brewster is a tough guy who comes to fight and he has a big chin. You saw what he did with Wladimir Klitschko.

"You have to respect your opponent."

Golota also hopes to impress in his adopted home town of Chicago.

"There is extra pressure I have on me fighting in front of my people. It is not comfortable but it is exciting.

"This is a great thing for Chicago. We haven't had a big fight like this in ages."
