IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (54-3, 48 KO’s) and former World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Samuel Peter (34-3, 27 KO’s) have agreed to a September 11th fight, according to Dan Rafael of ESPN. The contract hasn’t yet been signed but it’s looking good. The fight will be held at the Commerzbank-Arena, Frankfurt, Hessen, Germany. Klitschko’s manager Bernd Boente says that the contract for Klitschko-Peter should be signed by this Thursday. Klitschko was supposed to be fighting number #1 ranked IBF heavyweight contender Alexander Povetkin (19-0, 14 KO’s). However, Povetkin missed the first press conference for the fight and failed to sign the contract to fight Wladimir. Povetkin’s trainer Teddy Atlas reportedly felt that Povetkin wasn’t ready for the title shot against Wladimir at this time. It’s hard to imagine when the 30-year-old Povetkin will be ready, if not now. He might be missing out on a good payday that he may not see in the future if he gets beaten by one of the top contenders. http://www.boxingnews24.com/2010/07...ee-to-september-11th-fight-–-news/#more-35788
He's already been beaten by both Klitschko bros., seems like a pointless fight. He should be fighting David Haye.
