WBC heavyweight titlist Sam Peter was supposed to get his crack at Vitali Klitschko once his got rid of Oleg Maskaev in March in Cancun. He has waited and waited for Klitschko to meet him in the ring and it looks like he might have to wait some more.
All indications are that Peter (30-1, 23) will instead take an optional defense of his title sometime this summer before meeting up Klitschko later this year.
The names being thrown around in the rumor mill are Travis Walker, the hulking Floridian with an impressive record of 27-1-1 (21), and former world heavyweight title challenger Andrew Golota.
Walker’s name has been in the mix for a while and Golota’s recently was thrown around by ESPN.com.
Klitschko hasn’t fought since 2004 when he stopped Danny Williams. He retired from boxing because of a rash of injuries but has been trying to come back for over a year.
Injuries have kept him from restarting his career and now a run for Mayor of Kiev, his hometown, is slowing things down.
