Vitali Klitschko plans to return in March

WBC heavyweight Vitali Klitschko is planning to return in the month of March. He says the two opponents under heavy consideration are WBA champion David Haye and seven-foot Nikolai Valuev. Klitschko made the fifth defense of his title on Saturday in Hamburg, Germany. He gave ex-champion Shannon Briggs a very bad beating for twelve rounds.

Klitschko has lost very few rounds since returning to boxing in 2008. He does see a problem coming up, a lack of opponents. He hopes to get Haye or Valuev. If he doesn't get either, then it will likely be the winner of the WBC mandatory eliminator on December 17, being contested between Ray Austin and Odlanier Solis. Klitschko has two fights left on his very lucrative television contract with German network RTL.

"I am the strongest boxer in the world. I have the problem that there are no more opponents. Haye has an offer of a 50-50 split and there are no options. Another candidate is Nikolai Valuev, the Russian giant in the Sauerland stable, if he is fit after the recent shoulder surgery," Klitschko said.

It's time Vitali gave Solis a shot.

Vitali says there is a lack of decent opponents at heavyweight.

In other news, the sky remains blue

good for vitali and yes hes targetting 2 of the most credible ones at least...hes saving adamek i guess for wlad.

ali thanks for the several new updates you constantly supply the forum with..

Solis or Valuev should happen in March

I am hoping the WBC order Vitali to face Solis IF he gets past Ray Austin in December.

I'd love to see Vitali take on Haye or Valuev but I won't get my hopes up.

I want to see Vitali vs Solis and Wlad vs Haye next year. Solis should blow Austin away rather easily. I wouldnt mind seeing Haye fight Adamek or Arreola if he decides to duck the Klits again. Adamek will fight for a belt next year. I'd like to see Arreola in with Wlad also.
