Vitaly KlitschkoTAGS: Boxing, Valuev, Klitschko WBC heavyweight champion Vitaly Klitschko may clash with Russian Nikolay Valuev at the renovated Olympiysky stadium in Kiev, Klitschko’s promotion company K2 representative Aleksander Krasyuk says.
Dr. Ironfist has long dreamed to fight in his motherland, but it was difficult to hype up public interest. This became possible after the reconstruction of Kiev’s Olympic National Sports Complex.
“There is a real opportunity for the Klitschko brothers to fight in Ukraine, and such negotiations are already underway. The battle could be held next year, perhaps before Euro2012. Nikolay Valuev seems now the most likely opponent,” Krasyuk noted in his interview with the Den newspaper.
Earlier, the elder Klitschko (45-2, 40 KOs) admitted he is going to quit boxing after two more fights. As for Valuev (53-2, 34 KOs), the 2.13-meter-tall Russian made his last appearance in the ring in November 2009, losing his WBA champion’s title to British contender David Haye (25-1, 23 KOs).
The Olympiysky Stadium in Kiev will host the Euro 2012 final.
