Rematch between Lewis and Klitschko postponed

Lennox Lewis doesn't want to have another fight this year. His rematch against Dr. Vitali Klitschko has been postponed.

05.08 - Hamburg - WBC heavyweight world champion Lennox Lewis will not have another fight this year. That's what Judd Burstein, the lawyer of Lewis, told Universum CEO Klaus-Peter Kohl. There were negotiations about a rematch against Dr. Vitali Klitschko which could have taken place on December 6. However, Lewis said he currently feels unable to resume training and can not meet this date.

"That's unfortunate", Klaus-Peter Kohl said. "Vitali and I will now sit together and decide what is best for him and what makes sense."

Vitali Klitschko was the WBC #1 when he fought Lewis on June 21 and is currently the #2 ranked heavyweight of the World Boxing Council.

"Perhaps Vitali will have another fight in between and the showdown against Lennox Lewis will take place next year", Kohl said.
