Vitali Klitschko May Return, Pending Elections in Kiev
By David A. Avila (Febraury 7, 2006)
It's just chatter at the moment but Vitali Klitschko, who relinquished his WBC heavyweight crown after suffering a knee injury, may return to the ring if his political aspirations don't prove successful.
"Vitali has been talking about coming back if he isn't elected mayor in Kiev," said Tom Loeffler, manager of K2 Promotions, the company that was started by Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko a few years back. "Don't be surprised if he returns to boxing."
The elections in Kiev, Ukraine are taking place in March.
Klitshcko had been within days of defending the WBC title against Hasim Rahman when he suffered a knee injury while training. Now, Rahman is poised to defend the title against James "Lights Out" Toney on March 18 in Atlantic City.
Loeffler said younger brother Wladimir Klitshcko is poised to meet IBF title-holder Chris Byrd in Germany on April 22nd.
It was just a month ago that the eldest Klitschko stated he would hang up his gloves, but with one heavyweight title-holder John Ruiz losing his belt to Russian giant Nicolay Valuev, and his younger brother poised to meet IBF title-holder Chris Byrd, it just might be enough incentive for Dr. Ironfist to return.
