German media, quoting Russian and American sources, writes that WBC heavyweight champion Oleg Maskaev vs. combacking ex-champ Vitali Klitschko is almost on with mandatory challenger Samuel Peter receiving a substantial step aside fee of $2.75 million. However, when and where remains open as WBO champ Shannon Briggs´ defense against Sultan Ibragimov "stole" the planned June 2 date in Moscow. [details]

Just turn it into a double header and I'll be happy

So will everybody else but there is tons of money in the Klitschko Maskaev fight in Russia 3 times as much as Ibragimov Briggs

Exactly, I think Maskaev vs. Klitschko will be a much bigger fight. I hope for the double header as well, though.

I know maskeav isnt exactly a sturdy champ but this is a bit dangerous for vitali in that he's been inactive for so long. his timing will be off some,,,it has to be. he should still probably get by maskeav but as a fan I am a little nervous about this. he really should have taken a tune up to get his timing back and get used to taking shots again
