Willi ‘De Ox’ Fischer

The 35-year-old Fischer successfully returned to the ring last
year and in contrast to the on-going German version of the
‘Seniors Tour’ involving former stars like Henry Maske, Axel
Schulz, Graciano Rocchigiani, Dariusz Michalczewski or Sven
Ottke, the former WBO ‘world’ title challenger showed he is not
looking purely for a pension cheque, but is serious about
working his way up one more time. Now Fischer, whose two
comeback wins brought his overall record to 34-6-1 (22 KO’s),
has been declared ready for bigger things by his training team
headed by Tom Leidenheimer and manager Olaf Schroeder of Fight
Production is in the process of coming to terms for such a fight
with promoters Arena Box-Promotion. |

“Willi has been out a bit longer than we wanted after his last
fight in September, to let a busted eardrum heal out,” Schroeder
said, “For that reason, we decided to stage this show in Holland
so Willi can sharpen his tools and I am absolutely convinced he
will shock a lot of people in 2008. We are talking about
something very specific with Arena and if all goes well, Willi
will be in a very intriguing fight in March.”
‘De Ox’ will feature in a scheduled six-rounder with local
ticketseller Justin Barnes in the other pro attraction. The rest
of the show will consist of amateur fights. |
