Kalle Sauerland is angry at the WBA for declaring a 75-25 purse split, but glad the WBA has mandated the contract for a Klitschko-Povetkin fight between now an July 31 must be signed by Feb 28.

Wladimir will likely have a voluntary defense on April 6 to satisy his TV contract with RTL, and then fight Povetkin in July.

Ahmet Oner says he and K-2 had agreed on all points, but the negotiations broke down and now the fight will not happen. The problem is the promotional dispute between Don King and Oner (King would prevent a Klitschko-Solis fight, same way he stopped Solis from fighting Adamek).

The article also quotes Francesco Pianeta's promoter as saying despite a rumor in Europe to that effect, Pianeta will not be Wladimir's opponent on April 6.

Despit a rumor going around the internet boxing websites, Wladimir will not be fighting Fres Oquendo.

Quote from Dave Williams, the Klitschkos' training camp manager:

Quote:

Wlad, Banks and I looked at guys to fight. The management picked a guy. Wlad said .."it looks like ............" and Oquendo name is not it ..nor has his name been on ANY list I have seen.

So its news to me AND Wlad.

Maybe it's Oquendo's manager who is trying to get the fight calling the brothers..... NOT the brothers calling him
