Klitschko forced to cancel Pulev fight! Torn muscle fiber

You are definitely a fan if you are willing to travel and pay to watch a Klitschko grappling match. I am sure you can get your money back for the fight and cancel the hotel room before the check-in date. If you had flight insurance then cancelling the airline flight shouldn't set you back too much. I sincerely feel for you because you were obviously looking forward to this fight.

 

Yeah I'm guessing the hotel won't be a problem. The tickets will be transferable to the new date I assume.....the flights are non refundable though. I'm just hoping that there is only a smallish charge to reschedule them.....
Fifteen years I have been trying to get to a klitschko fight and I've been **** blocked every time!!! I even booked our honeymoon ten years ago to coincide with vitali versus rahman and we all know what happened there!

 

Just retire all them steroids early in his career have fcked his body up.

 

Have you seen how many Brits made the trip to Germany to see Klitschko chase Haye for 12 boring rounds?
I expected to be having to speak German in Hamburg, but looked like there were more Brits as Germans over there.

Brits love Wlad obviously :conf

 

Too bad that IBF won't strip his belt. It's been over two years of waiting for Pulev.

Apparently, it's a torn bicep. It's likely a partial tear, and hopefully of the muscle instead of the tendon.

If it's a tendon tear, if he continues to box, he could ruin his career if it gets bad enough.

I don't blame him for following his doctor's advice and post poning the fight.

 

Klitschko suffered the injury on Friday during a sparring session.

Wladimir Klitschko's torn biceps will keep him from training for about four weeks.

"He had problems on Friday, and he first thought it's a minor thing, but he went to the hospital near the camp [in Austria], and there they detected this torn muscle," Bernd Boente, Klitschko's manager, told ESPN.com. "He was in top shape and he had perfect sparring partners. He did a long preparation and is sorry to have to postpone the fight."

Said Klitschko in a statement: "I am very disappointed that the fight cannot take place as planned. I am in absolute top form and had a great training camp. Of course, I'm sorry for the fans, but also for my opponent Kubrat Pulev, who was certainly training as intensely as I do."

Dr. Robert Siorpaes diagnosed the injury and recommended that Klitschko suspend training for about four weeks.

Boente said the fight will be rescheduled for November and likely still take place at the O2 World, which was already sold out -- around 15,000 tickets -- for the Sept. 6 fight.

"We hope to reschedule the bout in the same arena in mid-November, probably Nov. 15," Boente said. "But that is something we have to discuss with the arena and RTL [the German television network that has a contract to carry Klitschko's fights]. We also have to talk to the IBF because this fight is a mandatory.

"Of course, we are all disappointed, but these things can happen during the preparation."

October isn't that far. It is not a big deal for me... But I understand people who are mad about this, especially if you had planned everything for a trip to Germany. It would be quite frustrating.

 

Dino you were so right. Where are all Wlad`s nuthuggers now?! Wlad is a disgrace. I know that for sure now. He was and still is manipulating the entire HW division. How many of you actually believe he is really injured? ... Chances are very small. He is obviously not sure in himself and is trying everything to distract his opponent. He knows the chance of losing is not small at all and if he loses the show would be over and all the cash flow with it.

 

i doubt the fights gonna be for Oct, im thinking most likely December time, or late November.

 

What utter utter shite

 

Checking the o2 website again there is first Saturday in november and 15th November as well....26th of October still there too. Hope that k2 make an announcement soon because ive got a lot of **** to reschedule!

 

klitschko is juiced out of his mind.

 

Not looking forward to this fight at all so not disappointed its canceled.
