This is a nationally televised encounter, starting at 10 p.m., EST, in Civic Auditorium. Wallace, 25, younger and with the burning ambition to fill the shoes of his idol, ex-champ Joe Louis, is ready to try to obliterate the 32-year-old Charles.

A special reason for Coley's ambition is the fact he played the part of Louis in the recently released movie depicting the life of the great former champion.
