Klitschko out till 2008!
Going against his original plans, IBF/IBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko will not enter the ring for the rest of 2007. According to Die Welt, the reason for the long inactivity isn't the hand injury suffered in his July 7 bout against Lamon Brewster, but a combination of 1) a lack of available opponents for a big money bout, 2) HBO, to whom he is under contract, has apparently already blown their budget. As a result, Klitschko's next world title fight will likely not be earlier than February 2008.
