Rahman Faces Wladimir Klitschko December 13 in Germany!

Former world champion Hasim "The Rock" Rahman will challenge IBF/WBO/IBO Champion Wladimir Klitschko on Saturday, December 13 at the SAP Arena in Manheim, Germany.

Rahman (45-6-2, 36 KO's, 1 NC) received the title shot when IBF mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin pulled out of the bout because of an injury. Rahman is ranked fourth by the IBF.

This makes December 13 a pretty big day because on that very same evening (as reported earlier on BATB, Tony "The Tiger" Thompson will take on James "Lights Out" Toney on the Versus Network.

Hey Gary. I view Rahman as having only a puncher's chance in this fight. Although that's all he had against Lennox... But still, I say Klitschko TKO 6.
