Mariusz Wach targets one of Britain's top heavyweights
Wednesday 9 November 2016 08:32, UK
Polish heavyweight Mariusz Wach could relocate his career to Britain as he targets another world title fight.
The 36-year-old, who went the full 12 rounds with Wladimir Klitschko in a 2012 points defeat, is willing to face any of the top British names as he attempts to climb back up the rankings.
Wach was stopped on a cut in the 11th round of last year's WBC eliminator with Alexander Povetkin but returned with a win in May and is keen to fight in front of his Polish fans in the United Kingdom.
"If there is going to be any possibility like that to fight in England next year, of course," Wach told Sky Sports.
"In England there's a lot of Polish people, so absolutely a fight like that is going to be interesting.
It doesn't matter which name. I'm ready to fight anyone - it doesn't matter who.
"Right now I'm ranked No 12 by the WBC and I've already fought the two best guys in this heavyweight era in Klitschko and Povetkin.
"It doesn't matter which name. I'm ready to fight anyone - it doesn't matter who. If the contract is okay and the agreement is good for both sides, I'm ready to fight.
"I'm ready to fight with any of those names."
'The Viking' was lined up as a potential sparring partner for Anthony Joshua before the IBF champion's planned world title fight with Klitschko was pushed back to next year.
Wach attended Joshua's press conference ahead of his second title defence against Eric Molina on December 10, live on Sky Sports Box Office, and is full of respect for the unbeaten 27-year-old.
"Anthony Joshua is a very professional athlete," said Wach, who has 32 wins and just two defeats.
"He's very good technically and at this moment he's one of the best heavyweights in the world. He looks good in all areas.
"Wladimir Klitschko is really experienced, he's fought a lot of the best fighters, but Tyson Fury showed that it's possible to beat him and Anthony Joshua looks to be much better than Tyson Fury.
"It's a great a fight and nobody knows who will win."
