WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko and seven-foot WBA heavyweight champion Nikolai Valuev could collide later this year. The “Russian Giant” told the news agency RIA Novosti that in a personal conversation he and Vitali have agreed to meet in the ring. “I have reached an agreement with Klitschko and we really want to meet,” said Niko. “We’ve talked about the end of September or the beginning of October.“

Valuev has now confirmed the report. “It is true,” he stated. “We want to make it happen.” Manager Wilfried Sauerland added, “I know of a phone conversation between Niko and Vitali. That is why I spoke to Vitali about a potential fight when I met him last weekend at Boris Becker´s wedding. I will get in touch with Vitali in the next days.”
