On the heels of his victory over James Toney on Saturday night in Los Angeles, Samuel "The Nigerian Nightmare" Peter has his eyes set on WBC heavyweight champion Oleg Maskaev.

"We want Maskaev, now," said Dino Duva, Peter’s promoter. "I will be contacting Dennis Rappaport (Maskaev's promoter) to begin negotiations immediately. Maskaev was obligated by the WBC to fight Toney in his next bout after defeating Rahman. Now that Samuel beat Toney, we expect Oleg to honor that obligation to Sam. Sam is ready to fight Maskaev immediately, and fighting him for the WBC heavyweight title is the only thing on Sam's mind right now. We want to make this fight sometime before the end of the year."

Nice. It's good that the division is finally sorting itself out now. All the big guy's are finally fighting the big guys.
