    Whether you are a fan of him or not you have to admitt that he is holding up the picture in the heavyweight division. If he is going to challenge Peter it should happen sooner rather than later because this nonsense has gone on long enough.

    My question is that if you had to bet a hundred bucks on whether Vitali is actually ever going to fight again where would you put it?

    I'm a fan but i dont want to hear about him unless its "Vitali is signed to fight within the next 6 weeks." I don't wanna hear about possible comebacks and potential fight negotiations and all that bull****.

    I have no idea where he is, but I'd never bet $100 against ANY boxer never coming back.

    My money would go to him returning at some point, most fighters with an incompletely legacy usually do.

    I hear he's seriously considering putting together another mayoral run. He'd need to throw his hat in the ring by early July in order to do so. I don't suspect we'll hear much until after he's made that decision.

    dude needs to call it a day. it's just not meant to be....he announced his return in what Jan 07:rofl

    i have given up. i want Peter-Haye or Peter-Povetkin ASAP. The winner is a legit #1 contender and can fight Wlad for all the marbles. The "2002 White Tyson" is a joke who would rather fight Skelton and Krasniqi than Wlad. He turned down another unification fight with Wlad. the ibo has more weight than the wba at hw right now :yep

    Haye talked **** so he better fight a top 10 hw in his first fight and not Hasbeen Rahman or some can since the whole division is ****...so he should have no trouble taking on a top 10 guy right off

    Iggy-Haye is a potential fight since both will be with Fishnet promotions...

    He will not fight any more. Maybe he will fight later with some of retired fighter to make any money, nothing more...

    I'd bet against it. He's CLEARLY injury prone, and that **** doesn't get better with age. Trust me.:yep

    Vitali should.

    Sam Peter is made to order for Vitali. Peter throws wide looping punches, has a little bit of a leaky defense, and is ponderous. Vitali could just stay on the outside and pick apart Peter using his height and reach advantage, avoidng Peter's caveman swings. Vitali doesn't have chin issues like brother, or it would of been an easy fight for his brother too.

    I too believe Peter is made to order for Vitali with his lack of speed & lack of straight punches. Vitali is a master from the outside and because his style is so unorthodox, the opposing fighter rarely sees the big punches coming. VK also throws every punch with authority, let's hope he returns healthy shall we?!

    Hopefully he's at the chiropractor. That dude was involved in the last exciting HW bout that occurred.

    Vitali is NOT fighting. He is running for mayor of Kyiv. He has officially registered as a candidate 2 weeks ago, and he has already been on the news campaigning for his party. He is the favorite to win. He will not be fighting.

    I had heard that he was fighting after august. After the election and after the Olympic games, My question is how can he have time to train and focus on a fight if he wins the election?
