WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko has made concessions in the negotiations with seven-foot Nikolay Valuev and his promoters. The Ukrainian boxer offered $2 million dollars to the WBA ex-champion, thus doubling his initial offer. Previously Valuev’s co-promoter Don King, according to press information, insisted on the amount of $4 million.

"We continue the negotiations”, - Vitali Klitschko said to liga.net - “Valuev has made big mistake by signing the contract with Don King. Valuev wants to get $4 million for this fight, though he has never earned so much even when he was a world champion. I made him the official offer – $2 million and the chance to fight for the world title. If he doesn’t answer by next week, we’ll surely sign an agreement with another opponent”.
