“The fight is on!” states Arena CEO Ahmet Öner after a long meeting with members of the Klitschko management group and K2 promotions regarding the ring size for tomorrow’s WBC heavyweight championship between Vitali Klitschko and Juan Carlos Gomez.
Less than 24 hours before the big fight, a measurement of the ring showed that it was almost four feet shorter than allowed by the WBC rules.
“I have been at the venue personally”, says Öner. “The Klitschko management group and K2 promotions are still young companies and mistakes do happen.
“As we are confident that Juan will beat Vitali we definitely want this fight to happen; after years of boredom we want the world to see a great heavyweight championship again. So we helped them to work out a solution for the ring. Everything is set now and ready to go.”
