Vitali Klitschko gets deal to fight Peter for title
Published 5/9/2008 at FOXSports.com News for MMA/Boxing
Samuel Peter will defend his WBC heavyweight title in the fall against unretired former champion Vitali Klitschko after the fighters' camps finally reached a financial agreement for the long-awaited fight.
Dino Duva, Peter's promoter, and Klitschko adviser Shelly Finkel reached the deal in Mexico City on Thursday, just hours before the fight was scheduled to go to a purse bid, in which any promoter could have paid for the right to stage the WBC-mandated bout.
