   News: Hopkins Advises Golota!

By Scoop Malinowski

Pound-for-pound boxing number one Bernard Hopkins recently had a warrior-to-warrior conversation with heavyweight hopeful Andrew Golota. The undisputed Middleweight king had but one bit of simple advice for Golota, who challenges John Ruiz for the WBA Heavyweight title on November 13th on pay-per-view at Madison Square Garden. Hopkins said to Golota, "Just stay focused."

Golota was very pleased with the encounter with The Executioner, as Hopkins is a fighter he respects very much.

   News: Golota NOT ranked by WBC

Wordl Boxing Council did NOT rank Andrew Golota in their latest top 40. They did rank for example Riddick Bowe who had an even longer layoff and only one fight since then.

Two other Poles were ranked high - light heavy Tomasz Adamek was ranked #4 and cruiserweight Krzysztof Włodarczyk was ranked #3

   I feel like I'm 18 - interview with Andrew Golota

Do you retire or not? Your manager Ziggy Rozalski says only your wife ishes so. Mariola says you promised her to retire after Ruiz fight.

I promised her nothing. She just wants me to sit at home and not keep getting hit. That's normal, every wife wants her husband to stay at home, take care of kids, take out garbage instead of wandering around.

How long are you gonna train?

Till I keep feeling young. Right now I feel like I'm 18. It's only a pity my muscles don't want to listen to the head anymore so much.

How do you handle pressure from preparations to John Ruiz fight?

Very well so far. I have two sparring partners, will have another one soon. Sam will also increase the number of rounds. Just the thought of it makes me feel pain :)

Sam Collona said you were number 1 heavyweight in the world. What do you say?

I have nothing to comment on. Sam knows boxing.

Whom from the top heavyweights you think you can't beat?

They tell me to fight the guy, I do it the best I can.

Didn't work out with Tyson, neither with Leiws. Would you fight rematches?

Why not? Although I'm not sure if it still makes sense. Even if I beat him you guys would say "the Beast"

   News: Golota will fight Ruiz... twice!

It turned out Golota and Ruiz signed the contract for... two fights! The rematch will apparently take place regardless the result of their first fight. This turned out to be just a rumor.

That's even better - Golota will make twice more money - said his manager Ziggy Rozalski.

   News: Stronger than ever

Andrew Golota believes he can beat John Ruiz and so doeas Don King - Andrew will win cause I wanna go to Poland and hand his championship belt to Lech Walesa!

When asked about his preparations Golota answered: Very well but I do realize that Ruiz is a tough opponent. This will be a difficult fight as the opponent is extremely uncomfortable.

- Does your wife accept your ring return?

- As every wife she would prefer I stay home instead of flying around the world, training and boxing. She's against it.

- And kids?

- Kids are for it, their friends at school keep asking when will their father win, will he be a champion. They feel proud, they believe I will win.

After the conference Andrew and Tomasz Adamek - another Polish boxer to box on that card - stayed in New York to see the amazing fight between Felix Trinidada and Ricardo Mayorga. A w niedzielê wieczorem Andrzej Go³ota ju¿ by³ w Chicago i trenowa³ w Windy Gim z Samem Colonn±.

John Ruiz: I'm delighted I;m gonna fight Andrew Golota for the championship belt. He's a very good boxer and deserved a shot.

I'm in good shape and will be even better by the fight time. I hope we will make an interesting fight and people want regret buying tickets.

Sam Colonna: I reapeat: Andrew will beat Ruiz. He's ready mentally and is missing about 15% to his top shape physically. He's stronger than ever.

   News: There will be no trial against Golota

Prosecution office in Sopot, Poland has dropped charges against Golota on the grounds that alleged victim's wounds were minor ones. It means that Golota can only be sued privately, not by the state's prosecutor.

The case in discussion is related to alleged beating of Jaroslaw T. by Andrew Golota in Sopot in March 2003. It is not known if private charges will be brought up.

   Interview with Sam Colonna

Boxinginsider.com: How's training going with Andrew Golota (for the November 13th Madison Square Garden fight against John Ruiz for the WBA Heavyweight title)?

Sam Colonna: "It's going good. He's real focused. He's doing everything that he's asked to do. And we're gonna start sparring on Monday."

Boxinginsider.com: That's funny, we've heard rumors that Andrew's been sparring with Oquendo and even put him down a few times...

Sam Colonna: "Nooo, that's just a rumor. We haven't even started sparring yet. We're supposed to spar with Oquendo. Oquendo's gonna have camp - I don't know where he's going but is brother don't want him in Chicago."

   News: IBF is joking !

Apparently it is not enough to score a draw - and a controversial one - with the champion to be ranked by International Boxing Federation. In the last IBF ratings Andrew Golota was not ranked despite drawing with Chris Byrd in April this year. The Powerful Pole is ranked #5 and #8 by WBA and WBO respectively.
