"Declaration of Fisticpendence"
I hold this truth to be self-evident, that all heavyweights are NOT created equal. This is my Declaration of Fisticpendence. While you are enjoying the July 4 holiday, look at the evening's activities as a preview of the REAL fireworks that will be exploding when I defend my WBC heavyweight title against No. 1 contender Oleg Maskaev.
In six weeks I will free myself from my mandatory by avenging my loss to Maskaev so that I can move ahead and unify the heavyweight titles and prove that all heavyweight champions are NOT created equal too!
Happy Fourth of July!
Hasim Rahman
WBC Heavyweight Champion
