Vitali almost pulled out!
By Karl Freitag
WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klistchko and brother Wladimir spoke to the press today regarding the turmoil in their homeland, the Ukraine. The Klitschkos are supporting Viktor Yushchenko and encouraging a "peaceful protest" of the recent election won by Viktor Yanukovych amid cries of improprieties. Vitali admitted that he had to be convninced by his handlers not to pull out of his December 11 fight with Danny Williams, in order to join his brother in protesting the election. However, you can tell the situation in his homeland is destracting him. "You know what? Why the big interest in boxing?" Vitali snapped at a reporter. "Everybody before every fight I get the same questions....it's heavyweight boxing and every punch can decide the result....I'm ready for this fight. I'm ready for twelve rounds, but believe me, if I have the chance to stop Danny Williams and send him to the floor, I will take that chance." Also, for the umpteenth time, the champion repeated his mantra for this fight. "He destroyed my dream to fight Mike Tyson.....now I have the chance to show everybody that I am stronger than the man who destroyed my dream and I want to destroy the dream of Danny Williams."

Could this distract Vitali and lose control of his fight with Danny Williams? Lets hope not...
The heavyweight division might have just sunk lower.
