MANILA (Reuters) - Vitali Klitschko has a vision. A vision he is determined to
turn into reality.
The Ukrainian boxer is adamant he and his sibling Wladimir will become the
first brothers to simultaneously hold world heavyweight titles.
"I'm going to realise my dream and make boxing history. It's a big adventure,"
Vitali told Reuters at the WBC annual convention in the Philippines.
"I can't imagine how people live without dreams. I dream all the time, and all
the time I make my dreams come true. Nothing is impossible!"
Wlad holds the IBF version. To realise his dream, Vitali must defeat the winner
of the long-awaited WBC bout between Oleg Maskaev and Samuel Peter, which is
scheduled for Feb. 2.
Former WBC champion Vitali quit the ring in 2005 due to back problems and then
a knee injury, both of which required surgery. But in January of this year he
announced he would make a comeback.
The 36-year-old said on Tuesday he was undeterred by the injuries he has
suffered and that he felt like a fighting fit 20-year-old.
Brushing aside the age factor, he said: "Just look at the history of boxing.
Many great heavyweight champions have produced great results after passing 30
years of age. That includes Muhammad Ali, George Foreman and Lennox Lewis. You
can't gain experience in the short term. You accumulate it with the years."
Certain that he will achieve his ambition, Vitali stressed that after winning
the title again, he would never consider unifying a portion of it by fighting
his brother.
Although the two have sparred over the years, Vitali said that long ago, their
mother Nadezhda had made both of them solemnly swear that they'd never fight a
contest against each other.
