Klitschko pulls out of Rahman defence

It seems that WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko and former titleholder Hasim Rahman are destined never to meet after Klitschko today pulled out of the eagerly awaited clash with a pulled muscle in his upper thigh.

Initially Rahman refused to face the giant Ukrainian because the financial package was not suitable. But late last week Rahman agreed terms with promoter Don King and the fight was set for April 30 at Madison Square Garden, New York.

Klitschko reportedly picked up the injury whilst out jogging Friday in Kiev. It is hoped that the fight will be rescheduled for sometime in June, assuming paymasters HBO have a date available.

Could the WBC strip Vitali of his title because of the injury? I would not put it past them.

Gee, a pulled muscle in his thigh, yeah right, like he is a fighter who uses alot of movement anyway!

Quitali does it again!

This isn't a kick boxing event, and he doesn't dance around the ring like Sugar Ray Leonard, so what's the friggin' deal?!

Screw Quitali...

....Looks like the fight is still gonna happen, but only a little later. What exactly did he do again? He has never been known to pull out of fights for phantom reasons. Do you really think he fears Rahman?

How bad could his leg be?

All VK has to do is stand in the center of the ring and jab-jab-one-two Rahman all night until Rahman can't get back up.

How on earth did that guy beat Lewis?

I want to see this bout ASAP. probably Vitali wins early rounds.

What exactly is your problem with thisn man????

Thinking of the LL match its ridiculos to call VK a quitter.

He damaged his Leg so he will fight rahman in june instead ( sad to wait but thats how it is).

The frigging deal is not only in the ring, i have a injuriy in my left glutes so i cant run and it realy ****s upp my stamina.

Ore do you think that stamina aint major factor in boxing?
