Klitschko out till 2008!

WTF!!!!!!!

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.

there are a few available fighters, Tony Thompson, Vladimir Virchis, Matt Skelton, Serguei Lyakhovich. ok there not great but better than nothing.

No real surprise. After a hand injury there is no point in trying to get one more fight in.

HBO is not going to buy these fights.

And Wlad is their exclusive fighter.

Wlad has an exclusive with HBO..

#1 HBO does see any opponents for him to make $$$ (we all know Wlad Vs. Unknown will not bring them any money)

It would be nice if he could fight Toney.. Still want that fat ass to hit the canvas (great chin)

#2 HBO Budget for the year is done.

At this point that fight wouldn't even be fair and would raise more criticism for Wladimir. Toney would get beat down badly now. The wear and tear boxing has done has become very evident in his past few fights.
