Road to the Belt, the trials and tribulations of V. Venger

Fighter profile of Vladimir Venger by Gregory Jackson

Possible inaugural Heavyweight Champion of the WFC Vladimir Venger sits down with Jon Gordon the Press Officer at WFC for a quick chat about his career and pathway to the WFC octagon.

Vladimir arrives with his entourage; he silently sits down next to me with a piercing look in his eyes, as if I was his next battle in the cage.

Interviewer: All ready to begin the interview?

Vladimir Venger: As ready as I’ll ever be.

Interviewer: Mr Venger, you're clearly the best fighter in the organisation, and probably after your debut against Dan Henderson, the inaugural Worldwide Fighting Championship (WFC) title fight will be next in line for you, who do you think in the organisation is worthy enough to face you for the title?
 
Vladimir Venger: I dont care who will face me. I’m prepared to fight anyone, at anytime!
 
Interviewer: For a guy as young as you are, there's still a wide room for your improvement. You're boxing skills are now world class, and you are a well known for knocking the heads off your opponents; but how do you see your other skills developing?
 
Vladimir Venger: I think I have great cardio, I can do a great job on clinches, and I feel I'm improving in all other areas of my game.
 
Interviewer: All your wins came from KO’s, do you think in your career, you'll ever get a submission victory?
 
Vladimir Venger: I'm completely sure about it... someday it will come.
 
Interviewer: Is there anything that worries you about your upcoming fight?
 
Vladimir Venger: No.
 
Interviewer: That's all I would like to ask you Mr. Venger, before we end our interview, is there something else you would like to say?
 
Vladimir Venger: If any other fighter thinks about fighting me, think twice because my fists can break any skull. And thanks to all my fans, it’s been great putting on a show for you all.
 
Interviewer: Thank you for your time sir, and you certainly entertained us at WFC 4! Hope to see you soon back in the octagon soon!
