I don’t know about the US not wanting them. HBO’s biggest ratings of 2009 was for Vitali-Arreola. Also a sell out I think at Staples Center? Against the right opponents there is interest. Wlad-Haye was to be on HBO as well before Haye ran away.

hey pedro, if the klitschko’s suck so much. what does that say about your home boys in the hood ? You say nobodys intrested, but their last three fights have all attracted crowds over 50k. what was samuel peters attendance record for his last three fights ? It must be frustrating to be you.

Dariusz Michalczewski (born 5 May 1968, in Gdańsk, Poland) is a Polish- German boxer and former WBO, WBA & IBF Light Heavyweight champion and WBO Cruiserweight Champion.
[] Early career
Michalczewski came up through Poland's state-run sports program as a boy and had a successful amateur career. He achieved an amateur record of 133-15-2 (83 KO's). Highlights of his amateur career include:- 1986 – European Junior Semi-Finalist in Middleweight division, defeating Fabrice Tiozzo but losing to Ray Close
- 1990 – German National Champion in Light Heavyweight division
- 1991 – European Champion in Light Heavyweight division
[edit] Defection to Germany
On 24 April 1988, while competing in Germany for the Polish national team, Michalczewski defected from the team to stay in Germany. Becoming a citizen of Germany in 1991 and turning professional the same year, he was soon signed by Universum Box-Promotion, one of the leading boxing promoters in Europe. His aggressive style earned him the nickname "The Tiger."[edit] Professional career
He won the German International Light Heavyweight (175-pound) title early on 13 February 1993, a title for foreign born fighters based in Germany. He then won the IBF Intercontinental championship on 22 May 1993. Finally, on 10 September 1994, Michalczewski captured the WBO Light Heavyweight title with a 12-round decision over defending champion Leeonzer Barber.Between then and March 2003, Michalczewski made 23 successful defenses of his WBO title and picked up three other belts along the way. Three months after beating Barber, he won the WBO Cruiserweight title with a knockout of Nestor Giovannini. However, he soon gave up that title to continue campaigning as a light heavyweight.
On 13 June 1997, he defeated Virgil Hill over 12 rounds to add Hill's WBA and IBF titles to his own. However, Michalczewski soon lost both alphabet titles. The WBA stripped him for displaying its belt along with that of the WBO, an organization it didn't recognize. The IBF did so a few weeks later, when Michalczewski was unable to defend his title against mandatory challenger William Guthrie within 30 days.
After beating Hill, Michalczewski knocked out 14 consecutive opponents, all in defense of his WBO titles. On 1998, he defeated Drake Thadzi and in 2000 he went to defeat Graciano Rocchigiani.
Darius would attempt for 6 years to secure a bout with his American counter-part, Roy Jones Jr, without success. After his titles were stripped from Darius for political reasons, Jones would win all the vacant belts and declare himself "world champion", even though historians continued to recognize Darius as the lineal champion. Jones steadfastly refused all offers for a lucrative fight with Darius and even made an attempt to ban the mention of Michalczewski's name on his home network, HBO. Seth Abraham, president and CEO of HBO, refused Jones demand and in 2002 a fan poll showed that the fight fans most wanted to see was Darius Michalczewski vs Roy Jones Jr. Jones continued to refuse offers for the fight however. One of his motivations may have been the insistence the fight be held in Europe, where Jones feared he could only win by a knockout.
Michalczewski had a perfect record of 48 wins and no losses when he faced Julio César González of Mexico in defense of his title on 18 October 2003. Coming into the fight, he was within one victory of tying Rocky Marciano's all-time record for an undefeated record by a world championship boxer. A win also would have put him just one victory short of Joe Louis' all-time record for successful defenses at any weight class. However, the now 35-year-old Michalczewski was unable to pull it off. He lost a controversial split decision to the 27-year-old Gonzalez at the Color Line Arena in Hamburg, and his career record dropped to 48-1.
Despite the loss, he still holds the record for the most consecutive successful title defenses at light heavyweight.
In October 2004, it was announced that Michalczewski would come out of retirement to fight France's Fabrice Tiozzo for the WBA light-heavyweight title on 26 February 2005, in Hamburg. He fought him but he lost, and then he declared the end of his career in May 2005.
Michalczewski was to come out of retirement to fight German boxing icon Sven Ottke in Germany in May 2008, but the bout never materialized.
[edit] In popular culture
- Polish Energy drink "Tiger" is named after the famous boxer. His picture and text "Recommended by Dariusz 'Tiger' Michalczewski" appears on the cans and bottles.
- Dariusz Michalczewski struck a friendship with performer Mark Wahlberg known at the time by his stage name Marky Mark of the formation Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. In 1995, Marky Mark released a track called No Mercy about his friend Dariusz Michalczewski including excerpts in Polish language from Dariusz who also appears in the video clip to the song.[1] No Mercy appears in the album The Remix Album by Prince Ital Joe and Marky Mark, although this particular track is a solo effort by Marky Mark.
- In 2006, a documentary was made by P.M.Starost . The 60-minute documentary entitled "Tiger"[2] took part in Filmfest München and won the award for the Best Documentary at the Biberacher Filmfestspiele.
Born in Szőreg, a southeastern suburb of Szeged in southern Hungary, Bugner and his family fled after the 1956 Soviet invasion and settled in England. Standing at 6'4" (1.93 m) with a prime weight of around 220 lb (99 kg),[1] Bugner twice held the British and British Commonwealth heavyweight titles and was a three time European heavyweight champion. He was ranked among the world's top ten heavyweights during the 1970s, fighting such opponents as Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, Ron Lyle, Jimmy Ellis, Manuel Ramos, Chuck Wepner, Earnie Shavers, Henry Cooper, Brian London, Mac Foster, Rudi Lubbers, Eduardo Corletti, Jurgen Blin and Jose Luis Garcia. He fought for the world heavyweight championship in 1975, losing on points in a second bout with Ali.
Bugner retired from boxing in 1976, but over the next two decades he made sporadic comebacks with varying success. He relocated to Australia in 1986, adopting the nickname "Aussie Joe", beating fighters such as Greg Page, David Bey and James Tillis before retiring again after a TKO loss to Frank Bruno in 1987. He made a final comeback during the 1990s, winning the Australian heavyweight title in 1995 and the lightly regarded WBF heavyweight championship in 1998 at the age of 48 against Bonecrusher Smith. He retired for good in 1999 with a final record of 69-13-1, including 43 wins by knockout.
Jens Ingemar Johansson[2] (September 22, 1932 – January 30, 2009) was a Swedish boxer and former heavyweight champion of the world. Johansson was the fifth heavyweight champion born outside the United States. In 1959 he defeated Floyd Patterson by TKO in the third round, after flooring Patterson seven times in that round, to win the World Heavyweight Championship. As a result, Johansson won the Hickok Belt as top professional athlete of the year and was named the Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year and Sports Illustrated magazine's "Sportsman of the Year".
Johansson enjoyed a successful career as a heavyweight. When he retired in 1963 he had a record of 26 wins, 17 by KO, and only 2 losses. He called his right fist "toonder and lightning" for its concussive power (it was also called "Ingo's Bingo" and the "Hammer of Thor"), and in 2003 he was ranked at #99 on The Ring's list of 100 greatest punchers of all time.[ Fury turned professional with promoter Mick Hennessy in December 2008 and represents Great Britain[2] and Ireland.[4] His debut came at the Trent FM Arena in Nottingham on the undercard of the Carl Froch and Jean Pascal fight for the WBC super middleweight title. In this fight Fury defeated Hungary's Bela Gyongyosi with a first round knock-out.[10]
His second fight was in January 2009, when Fury fought Germany's Marcel Zeller, a man with a record of 21 (20 KO) -3 losses. Fury won the fight by TKO after it was stopped in the third round. On 28 February 2009, Fury beat Russian Daniel Peret by retirement in the second round due to a large cut on Peret's eye in Norwich on the undercard of Jon Thaxton first defence of his European Lightweight title. Tyson beat Lee Swaby by retirement on 14 March 2009, at the Aston Events Centre in Birmingham on the undercard of 'Battle of Brum' where Wayne Elcock defended his British middleweight title against Matthew Macklin. On 11 April 2009, Fury beat Matthew Ellis at the York Hall by knock-out 48 seconds into the first round.
On 23 May 2009, Fury had his first eight round fight, he beat Scott Belshaw by second round TKO. Belshaw was down twice in the first round both times by body shots, in the second another body shot was landed by Fury which led referee Richard Davies to call a halt to the contest with 52 seconds of the second round gone.
Fury's next fight was due to take place on 12 June, however he suffered a back injury in training and the bout was cancelled. Fury returned to the ring on 18 July 2009, beating Aleksandrs Selezens in the 48th second of the 3rd round, despite the fight almost being cancelled due to Fury's continuing back injury.
The BBBofC decided that Fury would fight John McDermott for the English title before the end of November, with purse bids to be received before 8 July.[12] The fight was confirmed for 11 September at the Brentwood International Centre.[13]
Fury made an announcement that he wanted the win the British and Irish titles before the end of 2009 commenting that "I’d love to start out with the Irish and English titles and then move on to British, Commonwealth and European titles before going on to the world scene".[14]
Fury felt that his fight against Belfast's Scott Belshaw should have earned him an Irish title but outlined that "I thought it was worthy of it but you need to have been in a scheduled 8 rounder to fight for the Irish belt and the Belshaw fight was my first." A number of potential opponents have been linked with a potential Irish fight, including Declan Timlin and Coleman Barrett. Fury's uncle and trainer, Hughie Fury, claimed "When Tyson was an amateur he was a member of the Smithboro club in County Monaghan but none of the Irish Super heavyweights wanted to know about him and it will be the same in the pros. He’d fight Timlin and Barrett in the same night, they’d be no match for him".[14] Keith Walker, acting as the manager for Barrett responded "Colman will fight Tyson today and every other day. We don’t perceive Tyson Fury has any threat whatsoever".[15]
Tyson said of the pair, "the challenge is out there for them so if they want it then we can get it on for the Irish title as soon as possible. I’ll take on any Irish heavyweight out there, all I want is the opportunity to fight for the Irish title."[16]
On 11 September, Fury controversially beat John McDermott with a disputed points decision. Both boxers stated they would like a rematch. Many boxing observers scored the contest in favour of McDermott, and Promoter Frank Warren labelled referee Terry O'Connor a "disgrace to British Boxing" after his decision.[17][18]
On 26 September, Fury made his Irish debut as the undercard of Bernard Dunne versus Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym at The O2.[3] He dedicated his performance to the memory of Darren Sutherland.[3]
Fury vacated the English title due to a broken hand sustained in the victory over Tomas Mrazek.
[19] [20] On June 26, 2010 Fury faced old rival John McDermott for the vacant English heavyweight title, the fight would also be a British heavyweight title fight eliminator. Fury started the fight well catching McDermott with solid punches. In round 6 Fury started to tire and was cut above his right eye near the end of the round after an accidental clash of heads. In round 7 Fury carried on holding McDermott, consequently he was deducted a point by referee Dave Parris. In 8th Fury floored the Essex man with a short right hook. In the 9th round Fury took advantage of a tired McDermott dropping him another two times before the fight was called to a halt [10][21] at 1 minute 8 seconds of the 9th round.[19] All three judges had the contest 77-73 going into the ninth round. Winning this fight gave Tyson the English Heavyweight title and a chance to face unbeaten heavyweight prospect and British heavyweight champion Derek Chisora.

This would be the beginning of several major amateur tournaments Povetkin would go on to win including; the Good Will Games in Brisbane, Australia in 2001; the 34th European Championship in 2002; the XII World Championship in 2003 held in Thailand; and the 35th European Championship in 2004. His amateur success would culminate in winning the gold medal at super-heavyweight (>91 kg) boxing at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece, in a walkover match over Egyptian Mohamed Aly. After taking Olympic Gold, he concluded his amateur career with a record of 125-7, with all losses avenged.[1]

Tommy David Morrison (born January 2, 1969) is an American heavyweight boxer and a former World Boxing Organization champion. He lost only three out of a total of 52 professional fights. Morrison's nickname, "The Duke," is based on disputed claims that he is a grandnephew of Hollywood star John Wayne.[1] Morrison was a co-star with Sylvester Stallone in the 1990 boxing movie Rocky V.
Morrison's professional boxing career effectively ended when he tested positive for HIV in 1996. Beginning in 2006, Morrison attempted a comeback, stating that he did not have HIV and, later, that HIV is a "myth." His claims are refuted by boxing and medical authorities.[2][3]
After his enforced retirement in 1996, Morrison has been charged with multiple assault, weapon, intoxication, and drug offenses. He was sentenced to jail on several occasions, and served part of one sentence in 2000-2001. Morrison is of Scottish decent
Luke Tyson Fury (born 1 June 1988), more commonly known as Tyson Fury, is a British professional boxer who fights in the heavyweight division.[2][4] He has represented both Ireland and England at amateur level and won the ABA championship in 2008 before turning professional later that year. He is the current English heavyweight champion.

The two brothers from Ukraine have written boxing history. Their rise into the Champions League of boxing is unique. But also outside of the ring the two sons of a colonel, who both finished their studies with a PhD in sports education, are intriguing people with their charm and intelligence. They are popular testimonials and use their positive influence to support several charity projects.

When 13-year-old Vitali put on a pair of boxing gloves for the very first time, nobody could have imagined that he would become one of the greatest heavyweight champions of all time. Vitali started his career as a successful Kickboxer – he became a six-time Kickboxing-World-Champion, twice as an amateur und four times as a professional. It was not before later when Vitali discovered his passion for boxing and quite fast he was very successful too: As an amateur he became Ukrainian Heavyweight Champion three times, champion of the first World Military Games and winner of the silver medal at the amateur world championships. In 1996 Vitali left the amateur stage behind and his professional record since then is impressive: 38 fights, 36 wins with 35 KOs! Vitali won his first important title on October 24th 1998. In a fight for the European championship he defeated Mario Schießer by TKO in Round 2. This victory paved the way towards his ultimate goal – a shot at the World Heavyweight Title! On June 25th 1999 this dream became reality. After knocking out Herbie Hide in round 2, Vitali had became WBO-Heavyweight Champion of the world!
Unfortunately Vitali lost the WBO-Title on April 21st 2000 to Chris Byrd. In round nine unlucky Vitali had to quit due to a severe injury to his shoulder. Until that moment Vitali was well ahead on all three judges scorecards. But this setback could not slow down his hunger and ambitions and on June 22nd 2003 Vitali got another title shot – this time against Lennox Lewis. But once again good fortune was not on his side. After a fantastic fight, that earned Vitali great sympathies all over the world, the referee stopped the fight on advice of the ringside physician. The reason was a deep cut underneath Vitali´s left eyebrow that may have caused permanent damage if the fight had continued. Once again at the time the fight was stopped, Vitali was leading on the scorecards.
On April 24th 2004 at Staples Center in Los Angeles Vitali fought Corrie Sanders for the belt of the World Boxing Council (WBC). After a difficult and entertaining fight Vitali finally won by TKO in round 8. At the same time he took his successful revenge for the loss his brother Wladimir had suffered against the South African about a year ago. But at the height of his boxing abilities Vitali had to sustain several more injuries. After successfully defending his WBC-Title against Danny Williams, a scheduled title fight against Hasim Rahman had to be postponed several times before finally being cancelled. Vitali was truly plagued by injuries in 2005. After a back-surgery and tears of a meniscus and a cruciate ligament in his right knee Vitali Klitschko decided on November 9th 2005 to retire as reigning WBC-Heavyweight Champion of the world. Consequently Vitali was appointed Champion Emeritus by the WBC, a status that enables him, in case of a comeback, to challenge the current WBC-World Champion right away.
1400 days as Champion Emeritus Vitali Klitschko returned to the boxing ring on October, 11, 2008 in Berlin. His opponent was the reigning WBC-Champion, Samuel “The Nigerian Nightmare” Peter from Nigeria. With an impressive performance, Vitali regained the WBC-belt for the second time after 2004 by TKO when Samuel Peter did not return to the ring after round 8. Thus Vitali Klitschko is the fourth boxer alongside Muhammad Ali, Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis to win a heavyweight belt for the third time.
Since then, Vitali sucessfully defended his title four times: Juan Carlos Gomez (March 2009), Cristobal Arreola (September 2009), Kevin Johnson (December 2009), Albert Sosnowski (May 2010), and Shannon Briggs (October 2010
Unfortunately Vitali lost the WBO-Title on April 21st 2000 to Chris Byrd. In round nine unlucky Vitali had to quit due to a severe injury to his shoulder. Until that moment Vitali was well ahead on all three judges scorecards. But this setback could not slow down his hunger and ambitions and on June 22nd 2003 Vitali got another title shot – this time against Lennox Lewis. But once again good fortune was not on his side. After a fantastic fight, that earned Vitali great sympathies all over the world, the referee stopped the fight on advice of the ringside physician. The reason was a deep cut underneath Vitali´s left eyebrow that may have caused permanent damage if the fight had continued. Once again at the time the fight was stopped, Vitali was leading on the scorecards.

Wladimir
Wlad's weak point is obvious, it's his chin. Vitali's weakness is his lateral movement, he is a dangerous boxer, but he tends to be a stand up pressure fighter who comes after his opponents with pressure. A quick, speedy heavyweight in shape would out box Vitali rather easily. Wlad is actually a better boxer than Vitali, but Vitali is far and away the tougher of the two. It would be an interesting match if they fought each other, I think Wlad would be way ahead on points when Vitali KOed him. Neither are unbeatable, but so long as they pick the right opponents, nobody will, talent is scarce in the heavyweight division, so scarce even a Samoan slugger almost 50 is looked upon as a threat.

Wladimir developed his passion for boxing at the age of 14. Only three years later he was already European champion in his age division and started building a successful amateur career that included to be a five time boxing champion of Ukraine and a first place in the Military World Championships. But his outstanding achievement during his amateur career was the gold medal in the super heavyweight division during the Olympic games of 1996 in Atlanta.
Wladimir gave his professional debut on November 16th 1996 against poor Fabian Meza, who was knocked out already in the first round. On September 25th 1999 Wladimir battered a helpless Axel Schulz and became European Heavyweight Champion by knocking out the German in the eight round. He reached his ultimate goal to become Heavyweight Champion of the World by easily outpointing awkward WBO-Champion Chris Byrd on October 14th 2000. Five and a half years later Wladimir and Byrd faced each other in the ring again, this time battling for the IBO- and IBF-Belts. And again the Ukrainian dominated the fight, this time ending the night early and scoring a brutal TKO victory. On February 23rd 2008 Wladimir wrote a piece of boxing history by beating WBO-Champion Sultan Ibragimov over 12 rounds in the first unification bout in almost a decade.

- Wladimir Professional Record: WLADIMIR CALLING OUT HAYE.ENJOY IT.RAMMSTEIN LINKS 234 /LIVE SYDNEY.ENJOY IT.By Allen Hmiel: Call it off already. Please somebody pull the Klitschkos’ publicity juggernaut off the defenseless and inept WBA’s non-fighting David Haye. How much more can Haye take by the tactics that the Klitschko brothers are battering the bewildered Brit with daily? After calling out both of the brothers and current legitimate world heavyweight champions of the world, Haye has been in a run and hide mode embarrassing himself and the inept WBA, which I think he represents? Haye is like a turtle who has pulled his head deep within his shell while the Klitschko antics, of the truth and legitimate challenges bombard Haye with a daily publicity campaign aimed at exposing the back peddling by Haye.AS WELL KNOWN DAVID HAYE THE ARROGANT BRITISH BRED NEGROID STONEAGE CREATURE HAS PUBLICLY CHALLENGED AND INSULTED IN AN OBNOXIOUS MANNER BOTH KLITSCHKO BROTHERS LAST YEAR IN NUMEROUS OCCASIONS-NOW HES HIDDING ALREADY POSTPONING TO FIGHT WITH BOTH KLITSCHKOS.THE KLITSCHKO BROTHERS ARE REAL HEROES OF THE EUROPEAN PEOPLE,THEYD RESTORED THE HONOR AND DIGNITY OF THE WHITE RACE IN HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING.DURING THEIR GLORIOUS REIGN THEYD JUST DEMOLISHED AND TAMMED SO MANY BEASTS ITS TRULY AMAZING ESPECIALY WHEN WE KNOW THAT THE ZIONIST MASTERS IN AMERICA AND THEIR ALLIES THE COMMUNIST LEFT HAS WORSHIPPED THE NEGROES AND SINCE MUHAMAD ALI THE WHITE BOXERS HAD BEEN HARRASED AND RIDICULED AND ATTACKED ALL THE TIME.ALTHOUGH CHALLENGER JOE BUGNER THE HUNGARIAN BORN AUSTRALIAN FIGHTER NEARLY BEAT ALI AND AS I CAN RECALL SOME SMALL ITALIAN FIGHTER EVEN BEAT HIM,BUT THE PROPAGANDA MACHINE RELENTLESSLY TOLD US THAT THE NEGROES ARE BETTER FIGHTERS.BUT THEN IN THE 1990 IS GERMANY HAS ESTABLISHED THE UNIVERZUM BOXING FEDERATION AND THEY STARTED TO TRAIN FROM ALL OVER EASTERN EUROPE YOUNG TALENTED FIGHTERS AND WITH THEIR TOP TRAINER FRITZ DUNNEK THEY SUCCEDED TO PRODUCE A LOT OF WHITE CHAMPIONS.ON ZDF GERMAN TELEVISION REGULARY ON SATURDAY NIGHTS YOU CAN WATCH GREAT FIGHTS AND BELIEVE ME IN THE LAST 10 YEARS ID BEEN SAW SO MANY NEGROES BEING KNOCKED DOWN THAT I CAN DECLARE THAT GERMANYS UNIVERZUM BOX PROMOTION INDEED HAS SUCCESSFULLY OVERTAKEN THE USA NEGROID BASED ZIONIST LED BOXING WORLD.KIEV, September 14 (Xinhua) -- Ukrainian boxers Vladimir and Vitali Klitchko were presented on Tuesday as Friends of Euro-2012, Ukraine's symbols to promote the European soccer championship.The ceremony, held at the Local Organizing Committee's (LOC) headquarters, was attended by Ukraine's deputy prime minister Boris Kolesnikov, tournament director Markiyan Lubkivsky and UEFA operating officer Martin Kallen."I want Euro 2012 to be victorious in all senses: sports, politics and economic," elder brother Vitali said.Vladimir, who just returned from Germany after beating Samuel Piter, vowed he would do all he can to make the country's image hospitable."This is a great step forward as brothers are recognized in every spot of the globe," Ukraine's deputy PM said."Over the past four months, Ukraine has done very much. This, of course, will be marked on September 21 at the supervisory board meeting," Kallen noted.According to the program, up to 100 people in Ukraine and Poland, which is co-host country, will have the honour of being nominated Friends of Euro 2012.Half of them will be selected by the LOC from public figures and celebrities, while the remaining spots will be open to the community, from 5-year-olds to 95-year-olds, via various competitionsKlitschko bros.
The Klitschko brothers are the 1st true WHITE heavyweight champs since Ingemar Johanson (sp?) held the title for one fight in the early 60's. They are highly educated, multi-lingual, well spoken gentlemen (very unusual in this sport) yet still treated wih little respect by commentators. If the racial situation were reversed, the media would be jumping all over the situation; we all know that. They've accused Wladimir for clinching while admiring Ali for doing the same thing often in his career. Ruiz has made it the focal point of his arsenal without criticism. Racial bias? You bet! Clinching is a part of boxing and encouraged by trainers in the right spots. As we all know, the heavyweight division has been totally dominated by blacks for over 50 years and the lower weight classes have been dominated by Mexicans. Let's cheer on the new white fighters who are suddenly starting to make their mark and let the commentators know how we feel. HELP STOP RACISM IN BOXING! It will be good for the sport--the best man to man sport goingIn no way has any one disregarded the Klitchkos' academic excellence. They both have obtained a Dr. degree which is difficult no matter where you come from. I have to disaggree with your reasons of why Wvladamir is not more highly respected. First of all his style of boxing is not appealing to a boxing audience. You compare his flaw to a flaw(or style however you perceive it) of clinching, but he doesn't stick and move like Ali. Lets be realistic Klitchko's style of fighting is just not appealing because it's not pretty. The boxing audience wants to relate to the boxer and if his technique is to technical and not enough street, they aren't attracted to him. Klitchko is a great fighter but he's not that pretty of a fighter. Another thing is you bring up his race of being a white fighter and again I have to disaggree. Klitchko is European. If he was American he would be more popular, but he's not. Look at Gatti, yeah he was born in Canada but he is based out of New Jersey. He's not the greatest fighter but he has a huge audience and he is white. The American audience wants to see an American win. And my final thought is, who is Klitcko really fighting. Are there any great heavy weights right now challenging him? So before you bring race into the picture, get your **** together kid. Its not just white and black...or Mexican as you sayI have to say, I like Vitale better. I think I actually felt sorry for him during the Lewis fight. I can't stand Lennox Lewis, and the fight sealed the deal. Vitale ended up with, I think, 13 stitches over that eye. I know darn well that Lewis rubbed the laces over his eye on purpose. I watched the fight, and it didn't look the least bit unintentional to me. Anyway, since them I have had a thing for Vitale. I hope he does well, but they both have a ways to go. I have to agree witht he previous statement, they haven't really fought anyone that was great. There aren't many if any great fighters in the heavyweight Klitchko Brothers Rule Over The King

The Klitchko brothers have been offered a $100 million dollars to fight each other by Don King. Some say that this is a publicity stunt as a cry for help and attention by Don King. This issue had been addressed long ago by the brothers when they stated that, as a promise to their mother, they would never fight each other.
It does bring up some interesting issues. Would a normal person beat up on a family member for money from a third party? Vitali has the highest overall knockout percentage of any heavyweight at 92%. Vladimir actually has a PhD. in Sports Science from a University in the Ukraine which means he can literally teach others in a formal setting of a classroom all about physical science and sports. These brothers are both quality men and a battle between them would be entertaining, but the fans pick Vitali by knockout in this fantasy match that will never happen.
There is a lot of good that can be done with $100 million dollars, but as fans have pointed out, when dealing with the Don, read those contracts carefully. If the contract is done right, who wouldn't take $100 million off Don King? It would be worth taking a dive, that's for sure. This would be a situation where one would demand payment up front as Mr. King has a notorious and infamous reputation. Most recently, King has been accused of blocking a Vladimir vs. Valuev fight.
There are also mind games being played by heavyweight contender David Haye to antagonize Vitali into fighting him for the title. Haye posed with a picture of Vitali's severed head and presented him the magazine with the picture over dinner in front of both of their wives.
LOOK AT THIS TERRIBLE PICTURE HAYE THE NEGRO BARBARICALLY BEHEAD THE WHITE GUY KLITSCHKO-IS HAYE A MUSLI TERRORIST.IMAGINE THE OUTCRY FROM THE ZIONIST WESTERN MEDIA IF KLITSCHKO WOULD HELD THE BEHEADED HEAD OF THE NEGRO IN HIS HAND.THEY WOULD JUST CRUCIFY HIM.AWFULL ZIONIST PROPAGANDA THEY USE THE STONEAGE NEGROES TO DESTROY THE WHITE RACE.
While this offer of $100 million dollars is tempting, it appears a publicity stunt to draw attention to Don King. It's fun to imagine a match up between the brothers, but it's not credible at this point. Don King's reputation and current antics display a lack of character and integrity. The Klitchko brothers are both intelligent and educated and even an intermediate businessman would be wise to turn down offers from the likes of Mr. Don KingVictor Reputa Ukrainian WBC heavyweight champion Vitali “Dr. Iron Fist” Klitschko has WON Kevin “Kingpin” Johnson!!!!!!! WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS AGAIN AND FOREVER!!! Klitschko THE BEST!!!!Klitchko will soooo beat Haye ...and exactly they never praise themselves like all them other wannabes do ..their approach is very professional and thats very respectful ...so Jaime your dillusional assumptions are overated this group is for people who admire the talent not hating on someone's greatness.One thing about them is that they don't act cocky or brag about themselves before fights or after...They show what they got in the ring which is something other boxers can't say for themsleves. They both Kick butt without warning!
Klitschko brothers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaVitali Klitschko (born 19 July 1971) and Wladimir Klitschko (born 25 March 1976), collectively known as The Klitschko brothers are Ukrainian heavyweight boxers.
Brothers Wladimir (left) and Vitali (right) Klitschko
They reside in Germany, where they are media stars. Both brothers made their professional debut on November 6, 1996 in Hamburg. Since then both have been heavyweight world champions in boxing. They have stated they will never fight each other.
After a series of injuries, Vitali had a career break of almost four years. In his comeback fight in Berlin on October 11, 2008 he defeated Samuel Peter to regain the title of WBC world heavyweight champion. At that time Wladimir was already world heavyweight champion with the WBO, IBF and IBO. This marked a historic first with two brothers world champions at the same time.[1][2]
The Klitschko brothers jointly run the professional boxing promotion companies "K2 Promotions" and "K2 East Promotions" , as well as the "Klitschko Brothers Fund", a charity organisation. They appear together on German TV shows and commercials, have a common website klitschko.com and support each other's training and fightsVitali Klitschko; born 19 July 1971) is a Ukrainian professional heavyweight boxer and the current WBC world heavyweight champion. He is also a leader of the political party Ukrainian Democratic Alliance for Reform and a member of the Ukrainian delegation to the Congress of the Council of Europe.
Klitschko also holds the distinction of being a three time world heavyweight champion, having previously held the WBO and WBC titles, and has never been knocked out or knocked down in any professional boxing bout.
His younger brother, Wladimir Klitschko, is the current IBF, WBO, IBO and Ring Magazine world heavyweight champion. Vitali is the first professional boxing world champion to hold a Ph.D. (in sports science).
Vitali Klitschko has recently announced that he intends to retire from professional heavyweight boxing at the end of 2010. As a result of his success he has been awarded Germany's highest award, the Federal Cross of Merit.[2]Kickboxing
Originally Klitschko was an amateur kickboxer. In 1992 he was knocked out in the final of the European Kickboxing Championships +89 kg light contact division by Pelé Reid.[dubious ] In 1996 he turned professional and compiled a record of 34-1 with 22 knockouts.

He attributed the presence of the drug to treatment of a leg injury but was dismissed from the Ukranian boxing team and missed the Atlanta Olympics.[3] His brother Wladimir moved up from heavyweight to super-heavyweight to take his place in the squad.

Klitschko To Face Adamek In September
It's official. One of the Klitschko, Vitali (41-2, 38 KOs) or Wladimir (55-3, 49 KOs), will face former light heavyweight and cruiserweight champion turned heavyweight contender Tomasz Adamek (43-1, 28 KOs) this September.
The deal assumes at least one the Klitscho's win their next fights (Wladimir will face Dereck Chisora on April 30th while Vitali faces Solis on March 19th ) and Adamek wins his next fight which will be against an opponent yet to be named on most likely April 16th or 19th. If both brothers win they will decide which one of them will face Adamek, but both sides have said if that were the case it would most likely to be Wladimir.
The fight will take place at a new soccer stadium being built in either Warsaw or Wroclaw, Poland. There are 4 new stadiums being built in Poland for the 2012 European Soccer Championships and that two of the stadiums are bidding for this fight.
Kathy Duva Quotes
**Main events CEO
"I am ecstatic. I can't even put it into words. To work so hard with Tomasz with a goal in mind -- moving him up to heavyweight, getting a heavyweight title fight. We got him there and we got a good deal."
**Regarding the stadiums being built in Poland
"There is this window of opportunity for this fight because of the stadiums being built in Poland. It will be a huge event in Poland."
** Regarding Adamek not facing Samuel Peter as a tune-up (he was originally going to fight in a IBF tournament to announce the new IBF mandatory and face Peter).
"That's a pretty good bet." -- laughing
**On which brother he'd rather face..
"Either one, their option. We don't care which one it is. They have to tell us something like 90 days before the fight which one it will be. Tomasz's attitude is, 'I want a heavyweight title fight. I don't care which one of them I fight.'"
**On how long it took to negotiate
"It took us less than three weeks to get this done. Everybody had the same objective -- to make the biggest, best event we can and everybody make the most money we can. We're very excited. This has been the plan for the 2½ years we've worked with Tomasz. This has been the goal and game plan. I'm happy it all came together and we are happy with the deal."
**On the issue of Haye and the Klitschko's going back and forth on deals
"I didn't have any of the problems other people talk about. I've had a long relationship with [Klitschko adviser] Shelly Finkel for something like 30 years and that probably helped. But when the time came to talk to Bernd, we were in synch right away. I know how to get a deal done. I didn't have any problem with them at all. And I had a fighter who said, 'This is what I want, please go out and get it.'"
Bernd Boente Quotes
**Klitschko's manager
"We made some changes, their side and our side. We now agree on everything. We have a go from both sides for a fight in September."

Will Wladimir Klitsckho vs David Haye Ever Happen?
It looked as though everything was set for a showdown between WBO/IBF/IBO/RING heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko and WBA title holder David Haye for July 2nd of this year. But things fell through. Why?
Well back in December 2010 Wladimir Klitschko was staying busy with a fight with Derick Chisora scheduled for December 11th but ended up and had to pull out of his fight due to a abdominal injury he obtained on his last training session days before his fight. Wladimir Klitschko promised to fight Chisora at some point in the future, but David Haye's name was back in the picture and he and his team were going to see if a mega fight could happen with him 1st but promised Chisora a fight at some time in the future.
Ok so eventually Klitschko and Haye's sides agreed to the terms and the July 2nd date. Wladimir Klitschko hasn't fought since September 11th when he fought Samuel Peter. Keep in mind back in June 2009 Haye backed out of his fight with Wladimir at the last minute saying it was from a "injury" and had tied up Wladimir's year because he was planning on fighting earlier that year back around March but because of the way negotiations went, the fight scheduling didn't happen until June. So, Wladimir doesn't want a repeat of 2009, wants to keep his word to Chisora, and wants a fight just so he isn't rusty especially coming off an abdominal injury.
So what did Haye do? He backs out of the fight for July and blames Wladimir for the fight not happening saying that because Wladimir took a fight against Chisora in April he won't have enough time to prepare for him and promote the fight etc, so that's basically Wladimir opting out of the fight.
Whose business is it Haye's whether Wladimir wants to fight someone before him or not. It would be one thing if the Klitschko/Haye fight was scheduled for March or April but July is a long time. Wladimir hasn't fought since September, it would promote the fight since he's facing a top British fighter in Chisora, and he wouldn't take the fight unless he strongly believes he could make the fight with Haye.
So to make things clear. July 2nd is still available for Haye if he wants it, but it sounds like he is just making excuses to not fight Wladimir. He actually at one point said something about being done with the Klitschko's and he can retire knowing he did all he can to get a fight with them. He hadn't even had negotiations with Vitali when he said that. This guy is milking his belt for all its worth. I can't see how anyone can take this guy seriously

Both Wladimir Klitschko and up-and-coming heavyweight contender Tyson Fury spent time with one another training under the guidance of Emanuel Steward recently in their training camp in Austria. Fury had a few words to say about the encounter as he gets ready for an encounter against a TBA opponent on February 19th.
“It was a pleasure and a great honour spending time in camp with Wladimir Klitschko, it’s given me a great deal of confidence training alongside such a champion, he is definitely a fighter who is at the top of his game.”
“Wlad and his brother, Vitali are both modern day heavyweights who are not only very talented and athletic but also big heavyweights.”
“There has been all sorts of speculation flying around why David Haye isn’t fighting one of the Klitschko brothers, but in my honest opinion I believe it’s because David isn’t big enough to deal with the likes of Wladimir or Vitali.”
“But I’m going to change all that in the future, not only am I talented, athletic, have the determination and toughness but also I’ve I got youth on my side, plus I’m also bigger than the likes of the Klitschko brothers as you can see by the photo.”
“When i realise my dream and become unified heavyweight champion of the world I will avoid no one, I’m sure I will be a dominant heavyweight champion just like Lennox Lewis, only I will be representing the UK and Ireland.”
“I’m really looking forward to my next fight which is at the prestigious Wembley Arena on Saturday 19th February, this is going to be a big year for me, I’m going to give boxing the shot in the arm it needs.”

Klitschko vs Johnson Prediction
This is my prediction for the upcoming WBC heavyweight championship fight this Saturday, December 12th in Berne, Switzerland between current WBC heavyweight champ "Dr. Ironfist" Vitali Klitschko (38-2, 37 KOs) and American undefeated heavyweight Kevin "Kingpin" Johnson (22-0-1, 9 KOs).
I think the easiest way to think of this fight is how much of a problem do you think Kevin Johnson is going to be if Vitali was more than willing to choose Johnson as a voluntary defense after only 3 months after disposing of the undefeated American Chris Arreola?
Obviously, he does not think too highly of him as a serious threat. Kevin Johnson seems to think highly of himself though. According to him he thinks he's the next Mohammed Ali. He seems to think he's extremely fast, can't be touched, or hit, etc. But, if you look at his fights, he is NOT that fast. He has good speed with his HANDS, but his footwork is really pretty slow. This is what will be his downfall. Yes, Johnson does have a longer reach in this fight, but Vitali is much taller and is good at not only keeping the distance but keeping out of range with his body. Johnson will need to hit UP to hit Vitali in the face which will take away from his reach.
The other factors are obvious. Vitali has way more experience in general and way more experience in championship fights and against top contenders. I think Johnson's best win was against Devin Vargas who only had a week notice but still did a good job against Johnson and lasted 6 rounds, and Vargas is a pretty small heavyweight. I guarantee if he had more time he would have beaten Johnson.
Vitali will stay at a proper distance easily because he will have the superior footwork, and Johnson will not be able to hurt Klitschko nor will he be able to land the proper combos. The only thing in question in this fight is when will Klitschko win. It will depend on whether Johnson will run or not. I say he will stick and move. At least he will try to, and the fight will probablly last until around round 9. I'd say Vitali Klitschko by TKO/KO (Johnson's chin is in question. I don't know how good it is) in round 9. That's my prediction. What do you sayJuly 10, 2008
Fox Sports Klitschko Interview
This is a interview of Wladimir Klitschko, who is preparing to face WBO mandatory challenger Tony Thompson, from Fox Sports.
FOXSports.com: How has your training been going so far?
Wladimir Klitschko: All is great.
FS: What do you expect from Tony Thompson in the ring?
WK: I expect Tony Thompson to be offensively aggressive and not very defensive.
FS: How would you compare Tony's style to some of the other boxers you've fought in the past?
WK: I would say his style is not impressive, but it is effective.
FS: How do you prepare differently knowing your title is on the line?
WK: I didn't do anything different. It is not about the titles, it is about winning the competition in the ring.
FS: You unified the IBF and WBO heavyweight titles earlier this year. How important do you believe unifying belts is for boxing?
WK: I think that after I won the unification against Ibagimov, my number one position in the heavyweight division was cemented. I do think it is important to unify the title because it validates the champion
FS: Do you ever get any advice from your brother when you go into a fight? Has he given you any advice for this particular bout?
WK: As his little brother, Vitali gives me advice all the time — in and out of the ring.
FS: Recently, Floyd Mayweather announced his retirement. Were you surprised by that?
WK: No! I think he'll be back. If he doesn't return to boxing, then I will be suprised.
FS: So what would you like to tell your fans about this upcoming bout?
WK: To my fans, I look forward to a great performance and a great victory. Your positive energy will help me accomplish my goal and I thank youOctober 18, 2010

Klitschko began his professional boxing career in 1996, winning his first twenty-four fights by either early knockout or technical knockout (TKO). He and Wladimir signed with the German athlete-promotion company Universum. With both brothers holding Ph.D.s and being multilingual, their refined and articulate personalities made for mainstream marketability when they moved to Germany and Universum. In time, they became national celebrities in their adopted home country. In his 25th pro fight, on 26 June 1999, Klitschko won the WBO heavyweight title from Herbie Hide of the United Kingdom by a 2nd round knockout.
He successfully defended the title twice before a April 1, 2000 match against American Chris Byrd. Complaining of shoulder pain, Vitali and his corner threw in the towel after the ninth round despite carrying a lead on all three judges' scorecards (89-82, and 88-83 twice). Klitschko, who was later diagnosed with a torn rotator cuff, received much criticism for quitting the fight.
Klitschko rebounded from his loss to Byrd by reeling off five victories in a row, earning himself a shot at WBC heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis on June 21, 2003 in Los Angeles, California. Klitschko, a 4-1 underdog, dominated the early going and stunned Lewis in the second round with two hard rights.[4] In the third, Lewis landed a big right hand of his own that opened a deep cut above Klitschko's left eye.[4] Klitschko was able to rally and Lewis, who had weighed in at his career heaviest for the fight, was breathing heavily after a few rounds. Both men traded big shots and in the sixth Lewis got through with two tremendous uppercuts. Before the seventh round, the ringside doctor inspected the wound and deemed it severe enough to threaten eye damage if struck again, stopping the fight despite Klitschko's pleas to continue. Klitschko was ahead on all three scorecards 58-56 (4 rounds to 2) at the time of the stoppage, but because the wound was a result of punches from Lewis and not a headbutt, Lewis won by technical knockout.[4] Lewis was booed when he was announced the winner.[4] Klitschko, despite the loss, gained international respect for fighting so well against the heavyweight champion for 6 rounds. Negotiations for a December 6 rematch began.[5] For years after this fight, Klitschko would still occasionally call out Lewis, despite the fact that Lewis has been retired since early 2004, for a rematch.[6]

Around this time, the Klitschko brothers moved from Hamburg, Germany to Los Angeles, California.
In January 2004, they notified Universum that they would not re-sign when their contracts expired in April. Universum sued the brothers, arguing that their recent injuries had triggered a clause binding them beyond April. The suit was ultimately resolved in favour of the Klitschkos in November 2009.[7]
Klitschko earned an 8th-round TKO victory over South African Corrie Sanders on 24 April 2004, to capture the World Boxing Council heavyweight championship which had been vacated by Lewis. Sanders had knocked out (2nd Round TKO) younger brother Wladimir on 8 March 2003. This fight was also for The Ring Magazine belt. Klitschko was rocked early by Sanders, but by using movement and strong punching he broke down Sanders and forced the referee to stop the bout.
Vitali Klitschko's first WBC title defense was against British boxer Danny Williams. Williams had become suddenly marketable from a KO over Mike Tyson in round 4. Klitschko scored a technical knockout against Williams in 8 rounds on 11 December 2004, while wearing an orange cloth to show support for the Ukrainian presidential opposition movement. Klitschko knocked Williams down in the 1st, 3rd, 7th, and 8th rounds before the fight was stopped. Immediately afterward, Klitschko dedicated his victory to democracy in his native Ukraine, and also to the Ukrainian presidential candidate Viktor Yushchenko, whom he supported in the 26 December 2004, election revote.[8]
On 9 November 2005, Vitali Klitschko announced his retirement from professional boxing and vacated his title. He cited regrets about his suddenly-mounting injuries, a desire to leave the sport while still on top, and political aspirations in his home country of Ukraine.[9] Following his retirement, the WBC conferred "champion emeritus" status on Klitschko, and assured him he would become the mandatory challenger if and when he decided to return.[10]

[edit] Second reign as WBC champion
In 2009, Klitschko successfully defended his WBC Heavyweight title three times. On 21 March Klitschko defeated Juan Carlos Gomez by TKO in the ninth round. Gomez tried to use his movement to thwart Vitali but seemed unable to cope with the power and physical strength of his opponent. The referee stopped the fight in the ninth round as Gomez appeared unable to withstand any more hits.On 26 September, Klitschko earned a one sided TKO victory over Chris Arreola at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California when Arreola's trainer, Henry Ramirez called a stop to the fight.[12] Arreola was considered at the time one of the divisions hardest punchers however,Klitschko kept Arreola at bay with his left jab and hit him almost at will with the right. On 12 December Vitali defeated Kevin Johnson by unanimous decision winning almost every round. Johnson, a skillful fighter, tried to negate Klitschko's strength with angles and head movement. Though he proved hard to hit he failed to launch any sustained attack of his own. After the Johnson bout, Klitschko's camp began negotiations for a potential fight with fomer WBA Champion Nikolai Valuev, but the match failed to materialise due to economic disagreements.[13][14][15][16]
On 24 February 2010, Klitschko stated that 2010 will be his final year as a professional boxer [1]. Klitschko then defended his WBC belt against Albert Sosnowski on May 29 in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.[17] Klitschko won the fight by knockout in the 10th round, against a brave but limited opponent.[18] With the fourth defense of his WBC crown, Vitali improved his record to 40-2, with 38 of his wins coming by knockout.
On August 17, 2010 it was announced that Klitschko would defend his WBC title against Shannon Briggs on October 16 of that year. Klitschko dominated Briggs over 12 rounds at the O2 arena in Hamburg, Germany, retaining his WBC heavyweight title via unanimous decision, with the official scores of 120-107, 120-105, and 120-107.[19][20] During the post-fight interview, the American boxer said: “I’ve fought George Foreman, I’ve fought Lennox Lewis, and Vitali’s the best.” While Klitschko did not knock down Briggs, the latter collapsed after the fight and was hospitalized with facial fractures and a torn biceps.

Both Vitali and his brother are avid chess players. Vitali is a friend of former world chess champion Vladimir Kramnik and the two have played, with Kramnik always winning. Vitali has commented that "chess is similar to boxing. You need to develop a strategy, and you need to think two or three steps ahead about what your opponent is doing. You have to be smart. But what's the difference between chess and boxing? In chess, nobody is an expert, but everybody plays. In boxing everybody is an expert, but nobody fights."[24]
Vitali and his brother also have been involved in charitable activities dedicated to support the needs of schools, churches and children. In 2002, the Klitschko brothers announced that they had agreed to work specifically for the UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) which supports more than 180 projects in 87 countries.
[edit] Political career
Klitschko began campaigning for mayor of Kiev shortly after his retirement in 2005. He lost the 2006 mayoral election to Leonid Chernovetsky but placed second with 26% of the vote, ahead of the incumbent Oleksandr Omelchenko. Klitschko campaigned on an anti-corruption platform associated with Pora party. Analysts stated his relatively late entry into the campaign might have cost him votes. Still, he was elected as a people's deputy to the Kiev City Council.[25] In the May 2008 Kiev local election he ran again and won 18% of the vote. His party, Vitaliy Klychko Bloc, won 10.61% of the votes and 15 seats and again he was elected into the Kiev City Council.[26] His campaign hired Rudy Giuliani to consult the campaign.[27] In 2008 he was also appointed to the Ukrainian delegation of the Congress of the Council of Europe.
Klitschko became the leader of the political party Ukrainian Democratic Alliance for Reform in April 2010.[28] During the 2010 Ukrainian local elections the party won representatives in (Ukrainian) municipalities.[29][30]
[edit] Personal life
His father, Vladimir Rodionovich Klitschko, was a Soviet Air Force Colonel. His mother is Nadezhda Ulyanovna. Klitschko is married to Natalia Egorova, a former athlete and model. They met in Kiev and got married in April 1996. He has three children, Yegor-Daniel, Elizabeth-Victoria and Max (named after the former World Heavyweight Champion Max Schmeling).
In 1996, he graduated from the Pereyaslav-Khmelnytsky Pedagogical Institute (Ukraine) and was accepted into the postgraduate study program at Kiev University. On 29 February 2000, he presented his doctoral thesis on "talent and sponsorship in sports"[31] at the Kiev University of Physical Science and Sports, and his Ph.D. in Sports Science was conferred
Vitali Klitschko's next fight will be against mandatory challenger Odlanier Solis.

VITALI LIKE A WHITE KNIGTH DESTROYING THE NEGROID KEVIN JOHNSON.ENJOY IT.RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE PLAYING LIVE KILLING IN THE NAME OF.ENJOY IT.Tomasz Adamek challenges Klitschko
Tomasz Adamek will challenge one of the world champion Klitschko brothers in Poland in September. The final decision whether it will be WBC Champion Vitali Klitschko or IBF/WBO/IBO Champion Wladimir will be announced in the upcoming weeks, according to the official homepage of Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko.Tomasz Adamek is 34 years-old and lives in New Jersey (USA). Adamek was a cruiserweight and light heavyweight champion before he moved up to the heavyweight division. He won all his five heavyweight bouts, amongst which was his strong performance against former world title challenger Chris Arreola. Adamek’s fight record is 43 (38 KOs) wins in 44 fights with just one defeat.Before the scheduled Adamek clash both Klitschkos will defend their titles. Vitali Klitschko fights WBC #1 ranked Odlanier Solis in Cologne (Germany) on March 19. His younger brother Wladimir will face off with British and Commonwealth Champion Dereck Chisora in Mannheim (Germany) on April 30. Also Adamek plans a fight in April. If both Klitschkos were to lose, the deal with Adamek would be dead. If one loses, Adamek would face the other brother. If both Klitschkos win, the choice of Adamek`s opponent would be decided by the Klitschko side.Klitschko vs. Adamek will take place in a newly built soccer arena where the UEFA EURO 2012 will happen. Poland and Ukraine are both organizers of the European soccer championship. Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko are already „Friends of EURO 2012“and thus official ambassadors of the tournament. Vitali is also a member of the local organizing committee of Ukraine.
„A fight in a soccer stadium needs a lot of handling time. Therefore we cannot wait until all three have done their fights. We will start negotiating with TV stations in Germany, Poland and USA in the next weeks to find a suitable date quickly”, says Bernd Bönte, Managing Director of Klitschko Management Group.
„Adamek is very experienced, fast and a hard punching opponent. Whether it is Wladimir or me, we have to be very concentrated during the entire fight. It is fantastic that a Polish and a Ukrainian boxer will be together in the ring to set the first sports highlight in the run down to the EURO 2012“, says Vitali Klitschko.
Tomasz Adamek "I am very happy. I would like to thank the Klitschko`s for being very generous with the percentage offer. I am looking forward to this fight." He acknowledged, "It doesn`t make a difference to me which Klitschko I fight. Right now they are both the biggest stars in the boxing world right now and I want to fight the biggest stars. I`m grateful for the opportunity."
Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions, “We have promoted Klitschko fights in the highest profile arenas throughout the world, from Madison Square Garden in NY to Staples Center in LA and the largest soccer stadiums throughout Germany. Klitschko fights are huge events on the world stage and we are excited to bring a heavyweight championship fight to one of the new soccer stadiums in Poland, it should be a great atmosphere
The Klitschko's dominance won't last forever, but who will take charge when they leave the boxing world?
...the death of the heavyweights?
With heavyweight boxing apparently dead with no sign of recovery, is it’s demise being truly over-stated or is the division really going to be a write off for the next decade or so?
Well in all honesty, no, it’s not dead, heck it’s not even dying. The Klitschko’s dominance may not be the most exciting thing in the divisions history, though it’s only due to their complete dominance that the division is being written off. They are 2 tactically astute fighters who control opponents with such ease that they make the top challengers look like novices and, excuse the term, bum. Plenty of the fighters below the Klitschko’s can and have put on brilliant bouts with each other, most notably 2010’s excellent fight between Tomasz Adamek and Chris Arreola. Though Travis Walker’s controversial loss to Alex Leapai was another heavyweight clash worth watching if you can track it down.
A quick look at the top heavyweight shows that there is a changing of the guard coming. David Haye has “promised” (take that as you wish) to retire by the end of October, Vitali Klitschko is nearing 40 and at 34 (35 in March) Wladimir Klitschko is surely nearer his retirement than many may imagine. Other fighters who may not have a long career at the top include Tomasz Adamek (35 in December) and Alexander Ustinov (also 35 in December) as well as the already faded fighters like Ray Austin, Evander Holyfield, David Tua, Juan Carlos Gomez, Hasim Rahman and Jean Marc Mormeck.
Every fighter mentioned so far (apart from Haye) is 34 or older, though what about those under 30 that are likely to come through when the division eventually opens it’s self up to the next generation of fighters?No! The future is bright
Kubrat Pulev, Age-29, record 10-0 (5)
Although Pulev is 30 later this year he is easily one of the most promising younger heavyweights out their. Skilled, solid, with decent power and speed it’s not that Pulev stands out in single category but is a solid all rounder who is being pushed well and matched toughly. A former stand out amateur Pulev turned professional in 2009 and debuted in September that year by stopping Florian Benke. Since then Pulev has beaten Gbenga Oloukun, Zack Page, Matt Skelton, Danny Batchelder, Dominick Guinn and most recently Paolo Vidoz. Not bad at all for a 10 fight novice. Currently ranked #15 by Boxrec.com and #25 by the IBO Pulev is well on the way to making his mark on the division in a big way.
Eddie Chambers, Age-28, record 35-2 (18)
It’s hard to believe that Chambers is only 28 (29 in March) he seems to have been around for ages and is undoubtedly the best bet for America to win a heavyweight title in the next 5 years. A skilled speedy fighter who is often unfairly described as a “fat cruiserweight”, has mixed it at the highest level and although thoroughly out classed by Wladimir Klitschko he put up a good showing for several rounds against Alexander Povetkin. Chambers has fast hands, fast and clever footwork though lack any real sting on his power and hasn’t scored a stoppage in over 2 years (stopping Livin Castillo in October 2008). Chambers holds several noteworthy victories including decisions against Calvin Brock, Samuel Peter, Alexander Dimitrenko and Dominick Guinn so is almost certainly one of the ones to watch unless he does decide to drop to cruiserweight.
Robert Helenius, Age-27, record 14-0 (9)
Helenius is a highly ranked Finnish fighter, dubbed “The Nordic Nightmare” he has managed to go from impressive to poor almost between showings which is a shame. At a little over 6’6’’ Helenius has the natural height to be a “modern” heavyweight and although his weight seems to fluctuate he never comes in looking excessively poor. The current EU champion is highly respected by those who follow the European heavyweight scene and is climbing the rankings well since he turned professional in May 2008. Helenius has a series of solid wins over the likes of British fighter Scott Gammer, Gbenga Oloukun, Taras Bydenko, former heavyweight champion Lamon Brewster and the then 12-0 Gregory Tony. Though he looked relatively average in beating Atilli Levin in 2 rounds last time out. Currently ranked #17 by Boxerc.com and #12 by the IBO Helenius is likely to be given a few simple fights to build his record before progressing to the next level.
Manuel Charr, Age-26, record 16-0 (8)
Although the Beirut born German based fighter had a pretty poor 2010 it looks like some of his problems are sorted out and he can once again be “The Diamond Boy”. Charr’s last fight was a poor showing in beating experienced journeyman Zack Page, though he does hold stoppage wins over Owen Beck, Gbenga Oloukun and Robert Hawkins. Charr had a lot of problems due to his right to work in Germany, though with those sorted it seems as if the Syrian national could well be on his way to trying to make an impact. He’s not one I would back to be a world contender though he will certainly be a player at the European level and could perhaps go on to hold the EBU title at some point. Amazingly Charr is ranked #14 with the IBO, a long way from his Boxrec.com ranking of #38 (which seems more plausible) perhaps showing more about the IBO’s limitations than anything else.
Mike Perez, Age-25, record 12-0 (10)
A Cuban southpaw should be all you need to know but there is more to it than that. The man known as “The Rebel” is now based in Cork, Ireland and can do a bit of everything, his main problem maybe his size (he’s only 6 foot dead) though with Irish boxing on the up and up theirs no chance why he can’t become a real challenger in the post-Klitschko era. He was a top amateur before defecting in 2007 and ever since he has been creeping carefully up the rankings. Though his career has had some gimmicks involved, such as beating both Edgars Kalnars and Tomas Mrazek on the same card. To date his best win is against Zack Page though 2011 should see him stepping up his opposition.
Denis Boystov, Age-24, record 28-0 (23)
Just weeks from turning 25 Boystov is one of the highly ranked contenders on every boxing fans lips. A Russian born German based fighter with skill, power, speed and confidence should be a star, though Boystov’s career has been rocky the past year and maybe for the foreseeable future, hand problems threaten to end what seemed to be a one way road to the top. Boystov has the aggressive nature fans of the division love to see, he was a brilliant amateur at youth and cadet level before turning professional in 2004 as just an 18 year old. He has run up one of the longest streaks of wins of any active heavyweight fighter and certainly the most notable streak with wins against Jason Gavern, Taras Bydenko and Vinny Maddalone so far. Boystov’s hand problems, he’s required 2 surgeries in the past 12 months or so, could be the problem that dogs his career and perhaps costs him his power, though for now he’ll remain as one of the most exciting young heavyweights out their. Boystov is currently ranked #23 by Boxrec.com, #8 by the IBO, #7 by Ring magazine (who state his record as 26-0 21KO’s), #9 by ESPN.com, holds top 15 ranks with the 4 world bodies (WBA #2, WBC #3, WBO #4 and IBF #11) and is Fight news’ #7. If his hands hold up their really shouldn’t be a limit for Boystov in a post Klitschko heavyweight scene.
Andrzej Wawrzyk, Age-23, record 20-0 (10)
Polish heavyweights haven’t had a great reputation, Andrzej Golota being the most famous (other than current star Tomasz Adamek) who crumbled or got himself DQ’d in his biggest fights or Tomasz Bonin who got beaten every time he faced anyone even half decent. Albert Sosnowski is decent enough though never going to be a world beater (as shown by his showing against Vitali Klitschko) however Wawrzyk could be the man to change all that. So far the man known as Chemek has beaten Tomasz Bonin, Aleksiy Mazykin and a variety of journeymen. Aged 23 however “Chemek” has plenty of time to step up his competition. Stood at 6’5’’ he’s an ideal height and at around 230 he’s a decent weight as well though he needs to add some beef to his punches before progressing having won his last 5 fights straight by decision and has won 7 of his last 10 by decision. Boxrec rank him at #52 whilst the IBO go for #68 which seems about right for a fighter this far from his prime.
Edmund Gerber, Age-22, record 13-0 (8)
Gerber is a true baby in the division, not 23 until the latter half of this year he turned professional in 2007 soon after turning 19 and has risen carefully through the rankings. He has shown fairly basically faults that will need correcting over the next 5 or 6 years if he’s going to be the star I think he can be, though with power, youth, good match making and time to gain experience there is no real reason why the 6’3’’ can’t go far. He is generally facing decent journeymen at the moment, guys like Marcel Zeller, Lee Swaby, and Colin Kenna, though his true ability was shown when he beat Rene Dettweiler in 2 rounds to start 2010. Gerber is scheduled to take on Britain’s Paul Butlin next, oddly it’ll be his 3rd Brit in a row (behind Kenna and Swaby) maybe he’ll start chasing down the British prospects next. Ranked at #44 with Boxrec.com and #40 by the IBO it’s hard not to think he’ll do something one day, even if that day isn’t until nearer 2020.
Andy Ruiz Jr, Age-21, record 7-0 (5)
This is a selection more on the advise of the few that have seen the over-weight Mexican than anything else. Ruiz from Baja California is nicked named “The Golden Destroyer” and some are dubbing him a serious contender to be Mexico’s first heavyweight champion. To make any sort of mark the talented youngster will need to make a serious change, his weight needs to drop drastically from the 260-270 that he currently is to nearer 230-240, though he has made a good start since he turned pro weighing over 290. He has surprisingly speed and movement for such a big guy and was a well thought of amateur who at one point was tipped for the 2012 Olympics before turning over to the professional ranks. He is yet to face any sort of a test at all as a professional and it will be years before he does, though a Mexican heavyweight is always worth some sort of interest. He was described by Ring magazine as a looking like “a baby-faced Hispanic version of Butterbean” after holding his own in a sparring session with MMA fighter Andrei Arlovski. The same Ring article also said that Ruiz was 95-5 as an amateur so could seriously be one to add to your watch list on boxrec.com.
Some of these may be a long wait until we see them reaching their potential though in the post-Klitschko boxing era they could all make a serious impact. Keep an eye on them. As you can see I’ve picked a fighter aged every year from 29-21 giving a nice range of fighters at different points of their growth, I’d be
Who will take over the Klitschko's mantle?
Vitali's only weakness in my mind of his physical injuries. Wladimir, his brother, I think can beat him, although his chin is suspect. The reason the Klitschkos are so unbeatable are many reasons...
1) They are master boxers. The hit but are not hit. At the core, if you do that you win boxing matches. They were both well schooled Eastern European amateurs. They can box.
2) The rest of the heavyweight division isn't as skilled.
3) They rest of the Heavyweight field isn't as fit. Look at Eddie Chambers, Chris Arreola, or any other top US heavyweight and you notice their gut. If you come in the ring and aren't in top shape like the Klitschkos, you do not deserve to beat them. David Haye the only other real champ is in great shape also.
4) The Klitsckos physical gifts (height) allow them to use their great reaches to make anyone smaller (which is everyone) pay for real estate by walking through their thunderous jabs to try to get in one punch. You are getting hit 6 times before you get an attempt. Odds are against you. You could throw caution to the wind like Sam Peter or Arreola but you will end up KO'd like them.
5) Smarts. Both Klitschkos are smart. They are real doctors of Sports and athletics. It shows in the ring that they fight intelligent. Many boxers are brutes and not as smart as these guys. It's like Duke basketball...talent and intelligence beats talent.
6) Though, Wladimir has the questionable chin he no longer allows anyone to get close enough to it to test it. That jab is a great defense.
