A rather strange resolution of the question of holding the fairly anticipated by all of us duel Vitali Klitschko vs Lennox Lewis II was expressed on January 22 by the President of the World Boxing Council, Jose Sulaiman. \nIn this statement, Sulaiman says that, starting from February 1, and for 30 days, Lennox Lewis and Vitali Klitschko must hold negotiations, in which all questions regarding their rematch must be resolved. if by March 1 the questions about holding the Klitschko-Lewis rematch are not resolved, then in the following 15 days the WBC leadership will take upon itself the adoption of a decision about the date and place of holding this duel, and will also determine the prize fund for this fight. \nif Lennox ignores or refuses to comply with the WBC's orders, according to the same statement by Sulaiman, then he will be stripped of his world champion title. \nThe decision made by Jose Sulaiman is, of course, quite advantageous for Lennox and made, as they say, tailored to Lennox. In our parts this is called more simply "the last 333 Chinese warning." \nIn the WBC rules, namely in clause 1.21f, it says that if within six months from the moment of the last title defense, the boxer holding the world champion title must notify the organization's leadership whether he will defend the world champion belt or not. if he gives consent to defend the title, then he has another six months to do so. \nAccording to Sulaiman's statement, Lewis ignored the rules existing in clause 1.21f and feels just fine. \nTrue, credit must be given to the WBC leadership, which has left itself a mass of loopholes, both in this same clause and in the following ones. This is expressed in the dual interpretation of one or another clause of the rules, as well as the possibility of changing their decisions, primarily to their own advantage. \nBut be that as it may, according to information from a trustworthy source, Lennox, who met the year 2004 in a new house in Jamaica, is spending time quite merrily, but not in the gym. Lewis's appearance, according to our source, clearly did not correspond to the appearance of a person striving in the next two or three months to enter the ring for a duel quite important for himself. \nBut, God be with him, with Lennox. Now he has another 54 days to make a final decision about holding a rematch with Vitali. \n \nVitali, who received this information quite calmly and with a light smile, commented on it today, January 23, at 4:30 before heading to the DBoryspilF airport, from where he was flying to Germany: "I cannot comment on the decisions of the WBC leadership, but only carry them out. I am ready to begin negotiations about a rematch with Lewis already today. How ready Lewis is for these negotiations depends, first of all, on him. I think that as soon as I arrive in Germany, my team will begin looking for an opportunity to contact Lewis in order to determine the timeframe for the start of negotiations. I am ready to start agreeing on the terms of our duel with him as quickly as possible!" \nIn general, we again need only one thing — having gathered patience, to wait for the decision that, I hope, Lewis must soon make.
