By Thomas Hanson: For most of Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko’s boxing career, the two brothers have steadfastly refused to fight each other, pointing out some old obscure promise that they both gave to momma Klitschko years ago in which they promised her that they would never fight each other. However, with Vitali Klitschko (35-2, 24 KOs) about to take on Samuel Peter for the WBC heavyweight title on October 11th in Germany, I think the two brothers need to revisit that promise and perhaps get momma Klitschko change her mind. I mean there’s nothing wrong with two brothers fighting each other, is there?
I have two brothers and I fought them constantly from a kind until my teenage years, winning some and losing others. It never bothered me and I didn’t hate them if I lost or if they won, and the same with them. heck, if you brought in gloves, which we did on a couple of occasions, my mother was never afraid of us fighting. At least with gloves on, we had some padding instead of using just our fists which was more often the case. The important thing is, our egos weren’t so fragile and twisted that we wouldn’t hold a grudge if we lost.
By Eric Thomas: In the latest boxing news, former WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (35-2, 34 KOs) has reportedly signed on to fight current WBC heavyweight champion Samuel Peter (30-1, 23 KOs) on October 11th, likely to be at the Os World Arena, in Berlin, Germany. Although Vitali has signed on for the fight, it doesn’t necessarily mean that he will make it to the fight given his recent history of canceling bouts due to various injuries of one kind or another. At this date, Vitali has canceled his last four bouts due to injuries to his knee and back. 
By Thomas Hanson: According to German news Bild Zeitung, former WBC/WBO heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (35-2, 34 KOs) will be fighting WBC heavyweight champion Samuel Peter (30-1, 23 KOs) on October 4th, at the O2 World Arena in Berlin, Germany. The two were already set to fight, but had no official date set for the bout. Nothing is still confirmed yet with this, but hopefully this date and location can be ironed out soon. Klitschko, now 37, hasn’t fought in almost four years, since defeating Danny Williams in December 2004, a fight in which Klitschko knocked Williams down four times en route to stopping him in the 8th round. Shortly after that, Vitali retired after injuring himself repeatedly while training for his title defense against American heavyweight Hasim Rahman. 
By Eric Thomas: Let me start of by saying, I’ve never been much of a fan of former WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (35-2, 34 KOs). I love the sport of boxing, but I never cared for either of the Klitschko brothers, especially Vitali, who never really impressed me much with the ordinary boxing skills that he showed in the ring, not to mention his tendency to experience injuries almost at the drop of the hat. I do like to think of myself as being fair, and not blinded by my dislike of a fighter when judging whether or not they have a chance at winning a particular fight. With that said, I really don’t have much faith in Vitali being able to defeat Peter, 27, the new WBC heavyweight champion, in their upcoming bout in October. I have even less faith that Vitali will even make it into the fight with suffering some kind of injury or another, likely another injury to his back or his knee, both of them chronic problems for the soon to be 37 year-old Vitali. 
By Nate Anderson: In a recent interview by writer Warren Tasker of the The Edmonton Journal at Canada.com, former heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (35-2, 34 KOs), still appearing to be a little bitter over his 6th round stoppage at the hands of then WBC heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis, had this to say about the fight: “I really believe I would have knocked him out if the referee had let the fight continue.” At the time of the stoppage, in the sixth round, Vitali Klitschko’s face was a bloody mess with both his lip and his left eye torn to shreds by the huge right hands thrown by Lewis during the fight. It seems that Klitschko is thinking more from his heart than his head, for it looked like the wise thing for the referee to do in deciding to stop the fight. 
By Chris Williams: A couple of weeks ago it was announced that WBC heavyweight champion Samuel Peter (30-1, 23 KOs) would be fighting “Champion emeritus” Vitali Klitschko (35-2, 34 KOs) in October with the WBC heavyweight title on the line. Up to this point, I’ve heard a lot of people putting the 36 year-old Vitali down, suggesting he would likely re-injure himself training for the fight and that even if he did make it to the fight, Peter would quickly blow him out because of the long extended period of time (four years) that Vitali has been away from the ring. 
By Aaron Klein: With the recent announcement of former WBC Vitali Klitschko (35-2, 34 KOs) and the current WBC heavyweight champion Samuel Peter (30-1, 23 KOs) to fight in October for the championship, one has to wonder how much Vitali will have left for the bout. If this fight were four years ago, the last time Vitali set foot in the ring, I and probably a lot of other people would assume that Vitali would win with relative ease. After all, his chin was one of the sturdiest in the heavyweight division at the time and he had one of the best right hands in the business. In addition, with Vitali’s size – 6’8” 250 lbs – and his ability to choose whether to box or slug, he was more than a match for perhaps any heavyweight in the division. 
By Scott Gilfoid: After months of negotiations former WBC/WBO heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (35-2, 34 KOs) have come to an agreement for a bout in October, though no official date has been set as of this time. It will be the first bout for Klitschko, 37, since his defeat of Danny Williams in December 2004. Following that fight, Vitali was injured repeatedly while training for a title defense against his then number #1 challenger Hasim Rahman. After multiple cancellations, involving months of time wasted for both fighters, Vitali finally stepped away from the sport and officially retired from boxing. For whatever reason, Klitschko suddenly announced late last year that he had decided on making a comeback to regain the titles.
