Golota the frontrunner to face Nigerian Nightmare

WBC heavyweight champion Sam Peter is free to take an interim fight before defending his belt against Vitali Klitschko. Part of the agreement hammered out yesterday in Mexico City allows Peter to defend his belt by July, probably against Andrew Golota. Co-promoter Dino Duva is working on that bout "feverishly." As for Peter-Klitschko, all that is certain is that the clash will take place sometime this fall, with date, site and television to be deterimined in the near future. According to Duva, the event will be co-promotion between Duva Boxing and K2 Promotions, with Duva serving as lead promoter. "We're ecstatic," added Duva. "It's the best possible deal for all concerned – the fighters, promoters, and most importantly the fans."
