    Read what the article says.

    Promoter Don King revealed yesterday on Steve Bunce’s Boxing Hour show that he wants Wladimir Klitschko to face Samuel Peter (30-1, 23 KOs) in Nigeria in the near future. Of course, the fight is contingent on Peter, 28, defeating Vitali Klitschko, Wladimir’s older brother) on Saturday night in their WBC title match clash at the O2 Arena in Berlin, Germany. King said, “If he [Peter] destroys Vitali and then jumps on his brother and gets revenge for the loss he suffered, the only loss he ever suffered, then you will see more excitement in the air in the heavyweight division.”

    If there was a rematch and both are still title holders then there is no purse bid. If the two sides can't agree terms the fight just would not happen, that's all. I can't image Wlad fighting in Nigeria, why would he step into such an extremely hostile territory? It wouldn't be reasonable and unrecommendable.

    So it's a moot point. I won't be holding my breath then.

    DK is lost in the 70's or something. The rate of inflation on fight costs have increased so much that holding a megafight in a third-world country just isn't feasible. He would stand to make much more money hosting it at a casino or in Germany (or even Kiev).
