Tony Thompson Next for WLAD!

[Texanballer]

BF/WBO/IBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (50-3, 44 KOs) will next defend his world titles against WBO mandatory challenger Tony Thompson. "The fight will take place this July in Germany," Klitschko told BILD. The 6'5 Thompson is currently the top American hope in the heavyweight division with a record of 31-1 with 19 KOs. He has 27 straight wins and has been unbeaten for eight years. The winner of Klitschko-Thompson will have a mandatory due around the end of the year against IBF mandatory Alexander Povetkin (15-0, 11 KOs).

Vitali vs. Peter!

In the same story in Bild, it quotes WBC president as saying Vitali has promised him he will fight Sam Peter sometime before the Olympics begin on August 8. Vitali's running for mayor of Kiev in late May, so it's hard to believe Vitali will still fight Peter...

That's what I'm talking about...Tony's gonna give Wlad his toughest fight since Peter

"What has brother Vitali planned? On May 24 he'll be up for the mayoral election of Kiev. Sulaiman has assured him in writing, that in any case he will have the chance to fight Peter. That fight should still occur before the Olympics."

OK - you understand the German language better than I do. I thought it read Vitali had promised Sulaiman he would fight Peter before the Olympics..

Not surprising. Wlad by late TKO or wide decision.
