Dan Rafael of espn.com is reporting that World Heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko has canceled a fight with Derek Chisora for a second time citing lingering affects of the a rib injury that halted their scheduled bout in December.
This turn of a events can open the door for a much anticipated unification bout between Klitschko and David Haye
“Considering the current clinical picture, it is difficult to predict a precise time of rehabilitation,” Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt, Klitschko’s doctor, said in a statement released by Klitschko’s K2 Promotions. “The start of a training camp at this time for a fight in April would be too much of a high risk.”
Shelly Finkel, Klitschko’s adviser, told ESPN.com that Klitschko recently began to train and the injury still was giving him a problem.
“I don’t know if he was shadowboxing or what, but Wladimir said he felt something within the last week. He had it checked out,” Finkel said.
“Canceling the Chisora fight was no condition of any deal,” Finkel said.
