Lewis Back? What about Sam Peter???

[!! Mr. Soprano]

I know news about Lewis/Klitschko II has already flooded the media but here is something new on Peter.


Lennox Lewis comeback?
Former heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis is reportedly considering coming out of retirement for a world championship rematch with Vitali Klitschko. The bout could take place at the newly contracted Wembley Stadium in late September and early November and purses in the $25 million range are being mentioned. Promoter Bob Arum told the Daily Mail, "No matter how often a boxer says he will never come back, the money always talks louder in the end if the offer is big enough. I am told Lennox is back in the gym and this is an enormous fight in the making." For Lewis-Klitschko II to take place, Vitali would have to first defeat WBC champ Oleg Maskaev. WBC president Jose Sulaiman said Lewis would be granted "champion emeritus" status, which according to WBC rules could give Lewis an immediate shot at the title, bypassing hard luck mandatory challenger Sam Peter yet again. Peter has won two WBC eliminators and his handlers are currently mulling over a $2.5 million step-aside offer for Klitschko-Peter to take place. Arbitration on that matter could be next.

Lewis said last week[feb 19th] on a video on his ******* page that he isnt tempted to return and fight klitschko. He says he is comfortable in retirement and his job at HBO. He says he has to listen to his body and he has achieve everthing already.

So there it is, Lewis himself saying no comeback!
Plus the rumours quote bob arum, i wonder what his interest is, maybe its a bargianing chip in the maskaev,peter negotiations, Arum has never worked with lewis in the past so why would he be privvy to what lewis plans are, plus the other person named is Frank Warren, lewis wouldnt be working wioth him either, remember Warren is the guy that promised the winner of Matt Skelton Danny williams a world title fight, never happened, now he is saying the winner of Skelton against Sprott will get world title shot lol, pie in the sky.

possibly bull**** rumors before Peter/Maskaev/Klitschko arbitration

where do you see that?

That proposed fight, in Moscow on April 23, is being protested by the WBC’s No 1 contender, America’s Samuel Peter, who has already turned down a $2.5m offer in stepaside money.

I have the printed newspaper in my hands and have read the whole article that every website is quoting from.

It seems like its getting worse and worse for Sam Peter by the day. First, he was gonna have to wait for the winner of Maskaev-Vitali and now, if Vitali wins, then he'll have to wait for the winner of Lewis-Vitali.

Of course, he could also take the $ 2.5 million and then fight for one of the other titles while he waits for his shot at the WBC.
