XGFR WELCOMES HEAVYWEIGHT CONTENDER THE ONE AND ONLY "FAST" EDDIE CHAMBERS (42–4 -23 KOs)

Eddie started boxing professionally in 2000 at the age of 18. For the first five years, he fought unknown opponents before raising his level of competition significantly in 2005 . 

In 2006 he took a further step upward by defeating former title challenger Ed Mahone and renowned clubfighter Domonic Jenkins (in spite of his record of only 9-5 Jenkins had beaten several prospects).

On March 20, 2010 he faced Wladimir Klitschko for his first ever title shot in Düsseldorf, Germany.[1] Klitschko defeated Chambers by knockout five seconds before the end of the final round. The Ukrainian was criticized between rounds by his trainer Emanuel Steward for not fighting aggressively enough despite having won all prior rounds and Chambers only fighting back weakly. Klitschko began punching more often during the final round than he had done before which eventually led to his left hook hitting Chambers and knocking him out.
