Brothers Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko hold four out of five heavyweight boxing titles between them and now they have decided to try for the last one.  The brothers have challenged Russia’s Nikolai Valuev to a showdown in an attempt to take his WBA title, the only one the Klitschko brothers have not managed to win.  Vitali defeated Samuel Peter to win back his WBC crown after coming out of retirement while younger brother Wladimir holds the IBF, IBO and WBO champion titles.

Says Vitali, “Valuev is the biggest heavyweight champion in history. He’s huge and dangerous, this won’t be easy and I don’t want to underestimate him.  It will be a difficult fight, but we have a dream, and we are going to make it come true, by taking the last belt for the Klitschko family.”  Vitali stated that he didn’t care whether he or his younger brother took the remaining belt and they also are hoping to have the bout held in large capacity stadium and turning it into an international event.

“My message to Valuev is that this isn’t about size, but internal quality, so let’s see who’s the strongest and the best,” Vitali challenged.  A date has not yet been set for the match.
