Wladimir Picks Someone His Own Size Aug 29th 2012, 12:11 Heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko has dominated smaller opponents for years. Now, for the first time in his professional career, he's going to be looking up at an opponent (if only by one inch). For title defense number thirteen, Klitschko has selected 6-7, 250 pound Mariusz Wach, who is from Poland but lives and trains in New Jersey. The bout will take place on November 10 at the O2 World Arena in Hamburg, Germany. Wach, 32, is 27-0 with 15 KOs. That's the good news. The reality is that he has faced limited opposition with Kevin McBride and Tye Fields as the biggest names on his resume. Nevertheless, it's nice to see Klitschko face a big, undefeated fighter rather than the retreads and blown up cruiserweights he has faced recently. Wladimir's older brother, Vitali, is set to defend his WBC belt against undefeated Manuel Charr (21-0, 11 KOs) on September 8 in Moscow.
