    Heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko is predicting a quick knockout in his rematch with Nigerian fighter Samuel Peter on Saturday.

    Klitschko says he is a much better fighter than he was five years ago, when he was sent to the canvas three times before beating Peter in an unanimous decision.

    Peter is challenging the Ukrainian holder of the IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight belts and is equally confident of a quick victory.

    "It was one of the most difficult and important fights I had at the time," Klitschko said of the bout in Atlantic City five years ago. "It was a milestone in my career."

    "But what doesn't kill me, only makes me harder," he said. "I've become much more harder over the years and much more consistent in implementing my game plan of how to control a rival."
