WBA INTERNATIONAL Heavyweight Title: Vitaly Klitschko vs. Larry Donald

23.11 - WBA International Press Release: The very expected WBA INTERNATIONAL Heavyweight Title between Champion Dr. Vitaly Klitscho (31-1-0 / 29 KOs) vs. Larry Donald (39-2-2 / 23 KOs) took place at 22:15 h. in the Westfallenhalle Arena of Dortmund, Germany. It was originally scheduled on July 20th 2002 but it was postponed to November 23rd due to an injury from Klitschko.

The Champion dominated all the initial rounds with a clear 10-9 scoring on all judges cards. Only in rounds 5 and 7 there was a balance on the scoring. However after several right jabs from Klitschko, and although the Challenger did not give up easy at any time, Donald suffered two consecutives strong knockdowns forcing the Championship to be stopped by TKO at 2:35 min. of the 10th round.

As this WBA INTERNATIONAL Championship was also part of the World Heavyweight Eliminatory tournament Dr. Klitschko will be rated no. 2 in the World Rating and if no. 1 contender Evander Holyfield fights vs. Chris Byrd for the IBF vacant Title on next December, as it is scheduled, our WBA INTERNATIONAL Champion will be the no. 1 contenter for the WORLD Heavyweight Title.

The Official Appointment for this contest was:

REFEREE: STANLEY CHRISTODOULOU (SOUTH AFRICA)

JUDGES: OVE OVESEN (DENMARK), JOSE LAURINO (URUGUAY), GUILLERMO PEREZ (PANAMA)

SUPERVISORS: BARTOLOME TORRALBA (SPAIN) & RENZO BAGNARIOL (NICARAGUA)

President Gilberto Mendoza attended to this WBA INTERNATIONAL Championship together with some Top WBA Promoters as local promoter Klaus-Peter Köhl, Don King and Carl King, Michel Acaries, etc
