Vitali Klitschko Responds to ********** interview with Toney!

Click for --->Toney's Interview

Our interview with Vitali was taken rather unusually; actually it was taken because of James Toney’s interview on June 2 with a well known and respectable person, director of ww.**********.net Greg Leon. In this interview, new information emerged that Vitali will not defend his belt against either Rahman or Barrett but will make his title defence against James Toney on September 24th. Once we met Vitali, we decided to ask him few questions.

Vitali, James and his promoter stated that you have made an offer to them. Can you tell us anything about it?

One month ago, after James’ fight with Ruiz, I met up with James and told him, that since he won the world championship title, it would be very interesting for boxing fans to see us face each other. Before that James didn’t hold any belt and I wasn't too interested in him, since my main goal is to carry out title unification fights.

Now Toney doesn’t hold a championship belt, and we need to find out if he really wants and is ambitious to fight for a championship belt.

What can prevent you from fighting James Toney?

I am a champion and have the right to choose my opponent. If Toney continues to carry out negotiations with excessive financial requirements and unrealistic belief in his greatness, this fight will not take place.

I gave James Toney a great opportunity to carry out a fight for world championship title. Though, in my opinion his chances are minimal. But if he continues to negotiate this way, I’ll put all my efforts into my dream of unifying titles.

Vitali, Toney and his manager see only two problems before this fight will take place: financial and recognition of James’ greatness. What do you think about it?

James is not world champion, but his ambitions are of a champion. It’s rather complicated to negotiate about our fight with them.

Vitali, do you think James Tones’ punishment for banned substance was sufficient enough (ten thousand dollars and 90 day disqualification) or should other boxing organizations punish him?

I have no right to judge James’ punishment or of any other athlete. It should be made by people whose job is to keep sports clean of this. However, James used banned substance and it’s necessary to consider this.

James is a professional athlete and...he should realize what could happen. Therefore, first thing he should have done is to check that medicine to make sure it doesn’t have any forbidden substance. So, for losing the world title he can blame himself or his doctor.

Vitali, according to last information the fight for the interim WBC title between Hasim and Barrett is moved from July 23 to August 13. This will allow you to carry out a fight against any heavyweight on September 24. Are there any possible opponents that you can tell us?

My purpose is to carry out a fight in which I can unify belts.

Is there possibility for a fight with Lamon Brewster, since after Golota's fight he expressed so...

I can’t exclude an opportunity of carrying out a fight with Brewster. I have already answered Brewster that I’m waiting for his promoter to start negotiations with us.

How real is this fight if your team and Brewster’s team will start negotiations?

Since this fight should be interesting to boxing fans from all other the world I think there’s probability that this fight will take place.

Does Toney really deserve another shot at the title so soon after he cheated by using steroids? I think not. There are many other contenders out there who deserve a title shot against Vitali other than Toney. Rahman,Brewster,Byrd, and Brock just to name a few. I would like to see Toney work a little by beating some top ranked contenders before getting another shot.

under the curcumstances in which he used them, plus the way he dominated a current champion, yes he should be allowed to fight for a title. Everyone can fomr their own opinion on the matter. I don't like to judge anyone, if he said he took them from his doctor back in sept, to recover from an injury, and not to enhance his proformance in the ring, then i beleive him. Fighters get tested after every fight, toney has fought and won many fights without the drugs, earned a title shot without them, so he should be given another shot. If by some chance he pops again, then he should be banned for life.

I like Toney despite the steroids thing...I think he would have a hard time with Vitali..but Toney really shouldn't make ridiculous purse demands since he just got busted for roids and should be happy with getting two title shots in a row even if he has to take less money

[Bozo_no no]

Vitali Klitschko is 5-2 in Title fights, with the 5 wins comming over Herbie Hide, Ed Mahone, Obed Sullivan, Corrie Sanders, and Danny Williams. 4 of the 7 fights were WBO "title" fights.

James Toney is 11-1-1 (1 NC) in title fights (only lost to Roy Jones Jr), won titles at 160, 168, Cruiser, and Heavy (before it was turned into a no contest). All of his title fights were for either the WBC/IBF/WBA titles. Toney has also been regarded as the pound for pound #1 fighter in boxing on two occasions.

I'd say denying Toney's greatness would be ignorant.

I agree toney should take whatever is offered, if he still had a belt then yes i should see him wanting 50/50, but now he needs to take what he can get

Vitali is a joke, he acts like he's the greatest

last time i remembered byrd and brewster held belts so how does that make them a contender?

rahman almost pulled this crap when he was challenging VK for the belt... rahman didnt like the money, so king was about to pull someone else in to fight and rock changed his mind... maybe if VK agrees with brewster, toney will change his tune...
