By Scoop Malinowski

As one of the most important battles of his career looms but only two weeks away, Kostya Tszyu is in currently in phenomenal condition. He may even be at his ultimate, pinnacle prime, according to his friend Robbie Peden who is himself the current IBF no. 1 ranked junior lightweight in the world.

"He'll punish Mitchell," predicts Peden. "I think he'll punish him this time. I think Sharmba's been talking a bit."
