Vitali Klitschko WBC Heavyweight Champion

For the 1st time in history 2 brothers in the heavyweight division hold belts simultaneously. Vitali Klitschko recently captured the WBC heavyweight championship by defeating Sam Peter, and Wladimir Klitschko currently has the IBF and WBO belts(also has the IBO, but isn't recognized as the big 4 belts).

The only belt left is the WBA strap held by Nicolai Valuev(Ruslan Chagev is WBA champion in recess), and both brothers have expressed interest in facing him.

Ideally Vitali would like to have that belt to make it 2 belts a piece, but Vitali said he would not mind if Wladimir went ahead and pursued that belt himself.

New Klitschko Blog

Because the main klitschko.com forum is down right before the big fight Saturday February 23rd I felt the need to create a blog for Klitschko fans. If anyone has suggestions on what to add to make this blog better please let me know.
