    Sergei Dzinziruk wants to fight Paul Williams in the US!

    From *********:

    Dzinziruk wants Williams! WBO champ ready to fight the "Punisher" in the United States!

    December 1, 2008

    By Wolfgang Schiffbauer

    Unbeaten WBO light middleweight champ Sergiy Dzinziruk wants to fight interim titlist Paul Williams as soon as possible. And he wants it to happen in the United States.

    "Sergiy is one of the best boxers of our stable," said German promoter Klaus-Peter Kohl of Universum-Box Promotions. "And we would be very happy to show his skills in the United States as well."

    "I'm ready," said Dzinziruk in a previous statement on *********. "Just let me know where and when. I think it would be an excellent fight. I want this fight in the USA."

    After Williams punished three-time champ Verno Phillips on Saturday night to capture the WBO interim belt, the Ukrainian powerhouse is eager to defend 'the real' WBO crown against the American star who is proclaimed as "boxing's most avoided fighter." Dzinziruk, who predicted a Williams win, wants to showcase his boxing ability in the USA to establish himself at the top of the boxing world.

    Both Dzinziruk and Williams have similar records, both are good fighters. It would certainly be a interesting light middleweight clash.

    Dzinziruk would be willing to delay a unification with Puerto Rican Daniel Santos, a fighter he already beat convincingly, to get a immediate showdown with Williams. The Ukrainian champion wants to prove himself in America and wants to show that Europeans are excellent fighters as well.

    Williams, who stated that he could move up or down in weight to face the likes of Antonio Margarito or Floyd Mayweather, now has the opportunity to get rid of the interim title and win the real belt at 154 pounds if he decides to stay at this weight. His promoter Dan Goossen only needs to pick up the phone as WBO champion Sergiy Dzinziruk is waiting for the "Punisher."

      I'm glad he took his radar off Santos and wants Williams. Hopefully this happens in March 2009. I wonder why he initially wanted Santos first?

            could be because Santos is more accomplished at middle. But Williams is obviously the bigger name so he's making the right choice.

              He wanted Santos because he wanted two world titles instead of one, and Santos would have been willing because he wants to avenge the loss.

              But Sergei realizes that Williams is becoming more high-profile than Santos, and a fight with Williams would be nationally televised by HBO and so he would have the opportunity to become better known in America. Plus, because of HBO, he might now make more money fighting Williams.

                    There are some similarities.

                    Dzinziruk is tall for 154 and is a southpaw. He's more technically skilled and is more difficult to hit than Williams, but he probably has a bit less power.

                    However, Dzinziruk has a reach of only 68" compared to Williams 82" - that's a 14" difference!
