IBF and WBO Heavyweight Champion Wladimir Klitschko of Ukraine will be defending his titles against U.S. boxer Eddie Chambers on Saturday night in Germany's Dusseldorf.

'Dr. Steelhammer' Klitschko (53-3, 47 KOs) title defense bout against 'Fast' Chambers (35-1, 18 KOs) will be held at the Espirit Arena, which is a 51,000-seat football stadium.

The 27-year-old Philadelphian, who has earned the right to face Klitschko after beating Ukraine's Alexander Dimitrenko in a world title eliminator last July, warned earlier that "He [Wladimir] is the favorite, but I am confident and will take his belts to the U.S."

Wladimir held his last title defense bout also at a football stadium, when he defeated Uzbekistan's Ruslan 'the White Tyson' Chagaev in front of a crowd of 61,000 at the Schalke 04 stadium in Germany last June.
