They said if Maskaev can return within one year, he can then fight Peter, or if he does not return within one year Peter will automatically become Undisputed WBC Champion. I did not see however any news as to the rumors or not Oct. 6 show will go as planned.
I'm just being the mesenger, and at least they are finally doing ****in something. IMO, Oleg has avoided this fight to all his extent and if a year goes by without Oleg stepping in and taking him on then Peter will be the Champ.
You don''t think it's a good thing they're finally doing something, instead of letting Oleg hold the belt hostage anymore?
I know! As far as I could tell there was nothing in the article even mentioning the fight. But IMO, not only should it go on for the sake of all fighters on the card, Showtime, and the Venue. But, Peter needs to get his ass in the ring because he hasn't fought since the Toney match.
I think that the entire WBC belt is becoming a merry-go-round, with its numerous broken deadlines and interim champions. It's had a grand total of TWO defenses of the belt since Vitali fought Williams--both of them from Rahman. He may not have been a great fighter, but sadly enough I'm starting to miss him.
Wow, I didn't realize that. I hear ya brother, I just thought It may be good that altleast we can get on with it, instead of waiting to see when Maskaev feels like doin something.
Belts have to be won in the ring. Not handed to you because your manager/promoter threaten to sue everyone. :tired
There is no way to disagree with this, but what options do you have when the champ is holding the belt hostage?
Does this move by the WBC really suprise any of us? The WBC doesn't want to end up in court with Duva. Now watch who Duva picks to fight Peter next......at best a "C" level fighter
Hmm.... No doubt. Earlier today it sounded like Peter/Gollota was on. With this news release it didn't mention a fight at all. I think if nothing else Peter needs a fight just to not get rusty, as he did show a good bit of improvement in Toney 2.
