Michael Koncz on Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao: "If the fans still want to see this fight, we're willing to do it."
Breaking news: Klitschko-Adamek appears to be a go
|
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 Ts and dot our Is, 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 journeyman Dereck Chisora on April 30. |
