By Eric Thomas: According to an article from Live Fight, IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (54-3, 47 KO’s) says that he and his brother, World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (39-2, 37 KO’s) could fight in the future. “We are going to talk to our mother again because we know how much interest such a fight would create and it would mean that one of us would be the supreme heavyweight champion,” Wladimir said.

There had been hope that one of the Klitschko brothers would get a big money fight with World Boxing Association heavyweight champion David Haye in 2010. However, that picture is now murky, because Haye has cooled his interest in fighting one of the Klitschko brothers since capturing the title. There are some people who feel that Haye will instead opt to hold onto his title as long as he can by fighting safer opponents than the Klitschko brothers. At 38, Vitali can’t afford to wait around for a big money fight against Haye.

Other than the British heavyweight, the only other option for a big money fight for the Klitschko brothers is with each other. The brothers previously promised their mother that they would never fight each other. However, with Vitali not having much time left with his career, it’s not a bad idea for them to bring this issue up with their mother again.

There isn’t another heavyweight on the horizon that the Klitschko brothers can fight that would being in the kind of money that they would get fighting each other. Perhaps not even the unproven, little known David Haye, would bring in nearly the same kind of money that the Klitschko brothers could receive by stepping in the ring and fighting.

“Of course she [the mother of the Klitschko brothers] would not be so happy and if we did fight, I would be very worried about the health of my brother, because it would be very bloody and very bad,” Wladimir said. “We are very competitive and it would be for real. There be not fix.”

This fight makes the most sense for the Klitschko brothers. There really isn’t anyone for them to fight that would make the kind of money they would get in a fight with each other. Haye isn’t well known in the United States, and the way that he fought against Nikolay Valuev in winning the WBA title, it doesn’t look like Haye will be able to stay champion long against the top contenders in the division. There isn’t another fighter talented and with the name value for the Klitschko brothers to fight that will give them them the kind of payday they’ve both been seeking during their pro careers.
