By James Blears
Dino Duva defeated purse bids from Don King and Dennis Rappaport to clinch the rights for the Oleg Maskaev vs. Samuel Peter showdown.
Dina, Don and Dennis personally made the trip to the World Boxing Council’s downtown offices in Mexico City, to see WBC President Jose Sulaiman open the envelopes at high noon.
Dino, who was chewing on a telegraph pole sized cigar, came first with a bid of $3.2 million. King, who was holding a smaller unlit cigar closely followed with $3.1 million. Dennis Rappaport who didn’t have a cigar was third with $2.5 million. And Russian Promoter Yuri Federov of Sports Laboratory, who was not present, was fourth with sent bid of $2.25 million.
The purse split will be 55 percent to 45 percent. Fight date location have to be named by May 27th.
Dino who won the bid for his fighter said: “It’ll be a tremendous, competitive, and significant fight which will shape the future of the heavyweight division. Hopefully Sam Peter wins the Championship, and brings the glory back to the heavyweight division.”
But Dino acknowledged that Champion Maskaev is extremely dangerous. He commented: “Oleg is a very underrated fighter. He knows how to fight, he’s an experienced veteran, he’s he’s got a good right hand, and shown that he can come back from adversity. It’s going to be a tough fight. It’s no a gimme.”
As for Sam, Dino said: “I’ve been preaching for the last two or three years that Sam Peter will be the best heavyweight in the world and I think he has become the best heavyweight in the world. But now he’s got to prove it. He’s got to get in there with Maaskaev and win. He’s got to get in with Klitschko and win. Now Sam’s got the stage to prove that he’s the best heavyweight in the world. I like my guy’s chances.”Comment

I still haven't heard any word of when the Maskaev vs. Peter fight will be. I expected would be scheduled by now. According to WBC regulations Maskaev will have to give up his belt, since he only has until August 31 to defend his title. Anybody hear anything lately?Comment
