At two o'clock in the morning Kyiv time on February 27, Vitali signed his contract, thereby setting out on the road that will lead him to a bout for the vacant WBC world championship title, where his opponent will be Corrie Sanders. And while there is no problem with the date of the Vitali-Sanders bout, which is April 24, there is some uncertainty regarding the venue of the bout. Three cities are being named where this fight could take place: New York, Atlantic City and Las Vegas. We contacted Vitali and asked him to comment on this event, which we have awaited for so long. "I am glad that all the twists and turns that accompanied my promoter's negotiation process with Corrie Sanders have finally ended. For me, signing the contract means above all one thing — I can calmly begin preparing for the fight," Vitali stated. "I understand perfectly well that in the person of Sanders I will be facing not only his experience and skill, but also the knowledge of his promoter and trainer Lennox Lewis. I understand that the fight with Sanders will be difficult for me, but I am confident that I can send Sanders back to where he was before the bout with Volodymyr." Things are going somewhat differently for Volodymyr. His contract for the bout for the vacant WBO world championship title against Lamon Brewster, which is supposed to take place on April 10, most likely in Las Vegas, has still not been signed. "I am eagerly awaiting information from my promoter, since I want, just like Vitali, to begin my preparation with a calm soul," Volodymyr stated. "For now I have not signed the contract for the bout with Brewster."
Vitali Klitschko has signed. Now it is up to Volodymyr, or more precisely, up to Kolya...
