Peter wants another shot at the Klitschko brothers

By Jason Kim: Former World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Samuel Peter (33-3, 26 KO’s) wants another title shot against the Klitschko brothers, according to Fight News. Peter, 29, has won three consecutive fights over journeyman caliber opposition since his back to back losses to Vital Klitschko and Eddie Chambers. Despite the losses, Peter is currently ranked at number #3 in the IBF and #10 in the WBC, easily within striking distance of both Klitschko brothers. Even better, Peter has lost 25 pounds since his 10 round majority decision loss to Chambers in March 2009.

The weight loss has helped Peter immensely, making him more agile and a lot more dangerous than he’s been in years. Last Saturday night, Peter looked impressive in taking out 363 pound Gabe Brown in the 4th round in Youngstown, Ohio. Peter looked really power, and a threat to any heavyweight in the division apart from Vitali Klitschko. Peter’s best bet for a title shot would be against Wladimir, who currently holds the IBF and WBO titles.

Peter has faced Wladimir previously, losing a 12 round decision in 2005, in a fight in which Peter dropped Wladimir three times. The fight was a back and forth bout with both fighters hurting each other with big shots. Wladimir stunned Peter with a powerful left hook in the 12th round that staggered him. Peter isn’t currently ranked in the WBA, which is too bad, because he would have an excellent chance of beating champion David Haye if he could connect with anything hard.

Peter was stopped by Vitali Klitschko in the 8th round in October 2008.

    Klitschkobrofans yo man its DarthMuse from youtube lol we must be big Klitschko fans because we always on the same articals

  • Taff says:

    The way Peter shamefully gave up against Vitali means he should never get another title opportunity again. Who gives up a title like that? He put up more of a fight at the pre-fight press conference than in the actual ring.

  • Dave says:

    tbh i dont think tyson could compete with the klitchko bro’s i think he’d struugle with sam peters and would match well with haye

  • The Peter that fought Wladimir was more raw and more dangerous and hungry(not in the way he has become since) than the one who fought Vitali. I feel he is looking for another paycheck.

  • David says:

    LMAO peter just wants another paycheck hes gutless and lost to both Klitschko no way he deserves another shot not ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
