Good to see Adamek, unlike David Haye, didn't throw a fit and bitch out because Wlad is fighting Chisora in April.

The heavyweight fight between Wladimir Klitschko and Tomasz Adamek appears to be on.
Adamek’s promoter, Kathy Duva, said Friday morning that her fighter and Klitschko “seem to have ironed out our differences” for one of the best-possible heavyweight matchups in September.
“I think we’re there,” she said as she was reviewing what she called the final draft of a contract. “We still have cross our T's and dot our I's, though.”
Thus, Adamek will not fight Sam Peter in a title-elimination bout, as had been discussed.
Instead, he’ll take a less-challenging tune-up bout in April. One possibility reported by numerous sources is 38-year-old former heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman, who was 4-0 last year against journeymen after returning from more than a year away from boxing.
Klitschko, who holds two heavyweight belts, is scheduled to face the undefeated up-and-comer Dereck Chisora on April 30.
