    Klitschko/Rahman off again

    BREAKING NEWS
    Klitschko-Rahman off again?
    By Alessandro Ferrarini
    It looks like the April 30 heavyweight clash featuring WBC king Vitali Klitschko versus ex-champ Hasim Rahman at the Madison Square Garden in New York City, USA, might have suffered its final blow. After weeks of negotiations with sudden changes of scenarios - and a final deal definitely reached only last week, Vitali apparently suffered an injury which will prevent him from fighting in April. A source close to Team Klitschko in Europe told *********.com that the fight is canceled but no official reaction has been issued from the United States yet.


    ....I hope it's not his back again or he could be out a while. Not what the heavyweight division needs right now.

      ...He has had issues with his hands recently against Sanders and Williams. I thought they were broken in the Sanders fight but it turned out they weren't. He just throws so damn many punches that connect to hard heads. I am afraid that is hands are starting to become a serious issue if they haven't already.

          Is it canceled for good or just pushed back a month? I hope it is not canceled for good...this stinks. I don't mind that it is not April 30 because I had to go to a late wedding that day in Maryland...

              There might be a chance that Vitali could fight afterall. Maybe not as serious as we think.

                  I can pretty much tell you that the rumor is bull****.
                  One of my boys recently saw BIG V and V said he will fight as planned. Dont believe what press says, its the same guys who said Lennox is coming back.

                    if these 2 were to fight i think Rahman would stop him in about round 6 or 7 because iv'e seen recently with Vitali that he get tired at like after the 4th and veteran Corrie Sanders rocked him in 4 or 5 so thats what i think and also if tua were to come back and fight big Valuev and if he took care of him i think he could be back in the hunt for a contender spot for one of the big titles.
