Klitschko vs Adamek in Talks For a March Bout in MSG?

By Ruslan Chikov

Multiple sources in the Russian press are reporting that Vitali Klitschko may defend his WBC heavyweight title against top contender Tomasz Adamek in March 2011. Reports claim that Klitschko adviser Shelly Finkel has discussed the possible fight with Adamek's promoter. The date being reported is March 12, 2011 and Madison Square Garden in New York City is the rumored venue.

Klitschko defends his title against Shannon Briggs on November 16 in Hamburg, Germany. Adamek may fight on November 6 at the Prudential Center in New Jersey. Adamek is the top challenger to Wladimir Klitschko's WBO title. Either Klitschko will be hard for Adamek to overcome, but the slower and less technical Vitali might be the easier choice.

The fight would mark the likely return of a Klitschko brother on HBO. The network president expressed interest in purchasing the rights to either Klitschko brother fighting David Haye or Adamek.
