Vitali Klitschko-Sam Peter WBC Championship
The Tall and Short of it.
World Boxing Council (WBC) Heavyweight Champion Sam Peter (30-1, 23 KOs) will
defend his title against WBC Champion Emeritus Vitali Klitschko (35-2, 34 KOs), making his
dramatic return to the ring after a four-year absence, on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP
BOXING, Saturday, October 11.
The Klitschko-Peter Showtime showdown will be co promoted by
K2 Promotions, Duva Boxing, and Don King Productions from the O2 arena in berlin, Germany.
VITALI KLITSCHKO-”Thank you to everyone who put energy into making this fight
happen.” “I am pleased to say that I am back. I am happy to be back in the ring, happy to
fight for my title. I gave away my title freely because of my knee injury.
“I feel sorry for Peter that I must fight him. Skeptical people say that I won’t win because
I have been out of the ring for three years, but I did not lose the title. I am honored to fight
for (WBC President) José Sulaimán, who gave me this chance.
“I have big respect for Mr. Lou Duva, but his fighters always say they will knock me out and it
never happens. Mr. Duva is preparing Peter to knock me out, but this will never happen.
“I don’t underestimate Peter. He is a good puncher. I will give my best to be the winner, to take
my title back, and to make history where two brothers will be champions at the same time. It’s
a huge motivation for me.
“I promise the fight will not be easy and it won’t go to the scorecards. It will probably end between
rounds four-six. I have a lot of presents ready for Peter for October 11.”
Sam Peter-I am very grateful to be here today. I want to clear up one thing. I am the
true heavyweight champion.
Vitali, you never beat a champion. You say you are the champion, but you are not a
champion. You can’t be the champion until you beat me, and you can’t.
“I have fought 31 fights and never ducked anyone. I fought with my eardrum broken and lost
25 pounds that night, but I still fought.
“I am making one promise today. I will knock Vitali out. Trust me. I will knock out Vitali,
and then I will beat his brother (IBF/WBO Heavyweight Champion Wladimir Klitschko).
There is no doubt about that.”
