WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko has put preparations for a bout with Polish boxer Tomasz Adamek on hold after hearing of the arrest of Ukrainian opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko. 40-year-old Klitschko is not only a boxing champion, but also the leader of the UDAR (or “punch” in English) opposition party. The elder of the Klitschko brothers is scheduled to step into the ring against Tomasz Adamek in the Polish city of Wroclaw on September 10, and reports of the fight being in jeopardy are very premature.

According to Roger Bloodworth, trainer for Polish heavyweight contender Tomasz Adamek, his fighter could end up facing both Klitschko brothers in the next twelve months. Adamek faces older brother Vitali Klitschko for the WBC championship on September 10 in Poland. If Adamek wins, Bloodworth says there is a conditional clause in the contract which directs the Polish fighter to face WBA/WBO/IBO/IBF champion Wladimir Klitschko next.

A very important cruiserweight battle is going to take place on the Vitali Klitschko-Tomasz Adamak undercard. Veteran Ola Afolabi (17-2-3, 8KOs) will face once-beaten Polish contender Lukasz Janik (22-1, 13KOs). The winner could very well land a title shot in his next outing. Janik's only loss, a fifth round knockout to another Polish cruiser Mateusz Masternak (23-0, 17KOs), took place in October of 2009. He won seven in a row since the loss. Masternak, a rising star at the weight, is also going to appear on the undercard, with no opponent finalized at the present. Afolabi has won three since a 2009 decision loss to WBO champion Marco Huck. The big event happens on September 10 at Stadion Miejski in Wroclaw, Poland.

31-year-old Mariusz Wach (25-0, 13 KOs), who last week crushed Kevin McBride (35-10-1, 29 KOs) with a brutal fourth round knockout, is going to climb in the WBC's heavyweight rankings. Wach, who previously sat at number 13, is going to crack the top ten with a "number nine" position. Wach's countryman, Tomasz Adamek, faces WBC heavyweight champion Vitlai Klitschko on September 10 in Poland.
