Wach, McBride Say They Are Ready For July 29 Clash

“He is definitely the most experienced fighter I have ever fought,” said Wach, a 2004 Olympic representative for his native Poland. “It's gonna be the biggest challenge in my professional career, but I know that I'm ready for that. It's time to stop dreaming, stop playing and start fighting. On July 29th you will see what I'm all about.”
McBride, who represented Ireland in the 1992 Olympic games, wasn't intimidated at all by his opponent's boldness.
“There were a lot of fireworks on the Fourth of July, but you will see the real fireworks on July 29th,” said McBride, whose career best performance was a knockout of heavyweight legend “Iron” Mike Tyson in 2005. I respect Wach, but I'm coming to Mohegan Sun to win.”
While focused on the opponent in front of him, Wach had a message for the heavyweight champion brothers Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko, both of whom Wach is planning to target next should he emerge victorious on July 29.
“Klitschko brothers, don't even think about retirement. After McBride, I'm coming for your belts!”
In the era of super heavyweight boxing, Wach's 6'8″, 250 pound frame and McBride's 6'6″ 280 pound body are both equipped with enough power to end the fight with a single punch.
In the 10-round co-featured bout, Elvin Ayala (23-5-1, 11 KOs) of New Haven, Conn., will battle Hartford’s Israel “Pito” Cardona (36-10, 28 KOs) for the vacant WBC U.S. National Boxing Council (USNBC) middleweight championship.
Also featured will be Global Boxing heavyweight Artur Szpilka, who is unbeaten at 6-0 (4 KO), in a four-round heavyweight.
