Klitschko wants Russian Giant’s title

Boxing fans could be in for quite literally a gigantic bout at the start of next year. Doctor Iron Fist, Vitaly Klitschko, has said he wants all four heavyweight belts in his family's hands, meaning the only man standing in his way is the Russian giant, Nikolay Valuyev.
Ukrainian Klitschko recaptured the WBC crown from Samuel Peter on Saturday, a belt he relinquished 46 months ago when he last stepped in the ring.
Vitaly's younger brother, Wladimir holds the WBO and IBF titles.
So 37-year-old Vitaly wants to complete the global dominance by the Klitschko family and take the WBA belt off Valuyev.
Valuyev, who's 2.13 metres tall, says he would welcome the bout, adding that it would be a difficult, but interesting fight.
