Peter and Vitali Klitschko
reach deal
By Marc Abrams
According to various reports,
WBC champion Samuel Peter and mandatory challanger
Vitali Klitschko have agreed to fight in October.
No exact date (although October
4th or October 11th seems to be the likely date),
venue or network have been determined.
The fight was agreed upon
just moments before a purse bid was to be held
for the highest bidder. It may have been that
an outside bidder other than Peter's promoters
of Duva Boxing & Don King Productions along
with Klitschko's K2 Promotions could have won
the right to stage the fight the could have
sped up the process for the deal to be consumated.
