Negotiations, negotiations and after negtiations. Almost everything is clear and the contracts for both fights are signed. The time of the fight in Newark with McBride might still come across some changes. I've trained by myself three times a week and am waiting for the finalized decisions. [Trainer] Roger Bloodworth should be coming back February 20th. Right after his arrival we are going to the mountains in the Poconos in Pennsylvania. There are great conditions in that area for training. On Monday I am dropping my mom off at the airport after being with us for a month. Next week I am fully dedicating myself to training.

I am at peace after signing the contract with Klitschko. A lot of trainers and promoters talk about the worth of my contract and say that a fight with Wladimir will not happen. Also they say that the Klitschko brothers will not fight me because they will end up losing their spring fights. I'm afraid that this might actually happen and Klitschko opponents - [Odlanier] Solis and [Dereck] Chisora, are talking like winners should. They weaken my motivation before a fight that is ever so important to me to me in the spring of 2011. I hope that one of those fighters will spare me at least one of the Klitschko brothers. In case it goes the other way, the fight contract will be a great souvenir of something that is very important to me. Seriously speaking, I don't think the brothers will let themslves get hurt in the upcoming fights.

The voting for the athlete of the decade opened up on ONET. I am very sad that Robert Kubica is lying in an Italian hospital after an accident.  I met Robert while announcing the best ten athletes in Przeglad Sportowy in 2008. He was first, for his fourth place in MS F1 where he became a super champion.  After our meeting came my next dream, I wanted to ride in an F1.  I was hoping that this wish would come true one day. He was fighting with great speed on the big track of Formula one. I, with my quick hits, was winning in the small ring. He went to Italy a long time ago to realize his racing dreams. I went to the United States to fight the best boxers and gain titles and belts. Robert has many more fans of his talent. I am included in that group.

When I make my decision on the athlete of the decade, I will be paired up with Robert Kubica and I know I will be voting for him. 

He deserves it and I encourage everyone to vote for Robert because he brought car racing closer to the people of Poland and he's been doing his craft extremely well. Along with Robert, we strongly believe in God and we do not hide that fact.  It is not by coincidence that Robert drives with the sign JP II on his helmet.  I believe that Robert will soon overcome his wounds from his accident and will soon return to racing. I wish him good health and a quick recovery. Robert, get through this, this is only another test of your character.
