Ukrainians Volodymyr and Vitali Klitschko plan to create their own promotional company, and soon become organizers of their own fights. Moreover, they plan to do this in the near future.\n\n"We are working in this direction and will soon be ready to officially announce it. We want to become promoters of our own fights ourselves and follow the path of such boxers as Oscar de la Hoya, Roy Jones and Lennox Lewis," said Vitali Klitschko.\n\nIn addition, Vitali clarified the situation regarding the break in relations with the German promotional company "Universum Box-Promotion" headed by Klaus-Peter Kohl. According to him, there is no lawsuit, it is just that soon the Hamburg Legal Institute will provide the brothers with clarification on the disputed issue with "Universum," namely - whether their contract will end on April 30 or will be renewed due to the injuries the boxers received.\n\nAccording to their promoter Klaus-Peter Kohl, the Klitschko brothers should remain with the club for a longer term, and not become free agents, to use a football term. The reason for everything, according to Kohl, is the injuries of both brothers, which they had during their careers at "Universum."\n\nNevertheless, Klitschko emphasized that this situation will not affect their performances, and regardless of this decision the Klitschko brothers can enter the ring. Vitali's plans did not change after Lewis left the sport.\n\nAccording to WBC rules, the vacant world champion title should be fought for by the boxers occupying the first and second lines of the ranking. Recall that Vitali Klitschko is first in this ranking, and in second position is the South African Corrie Sanders.\n\n"My duel with Corrie Sanders will be a fairly significant fight for me, a victory in which will allow me to become world champion," noted Vitali. "This will be, although a fairly significant duel for me, but only a duel. With Lennox or without him, I have a goal - the world champion title. And I will box for the vacant title, in accordance with the rules of the World Boxing Council, against the second number of the ranking list. This duel will be no less interesting, because this is the 'offender' of my younger brother Volodya, Corrie Sanders."\n\nIt is worth adding that the duel between Sanders and Klitschko senior may take place as early as April 24, at least it was for this day that the HBO company planned the duel between Vitali Klitschko and Lennox Lewis.
The Klitschko brothers are their own promoters
