Als Sanders-Fan werde ich dann mal den neuen Fight einweihen. Habe gerade einen interessanten Bericht gelesen(s. unten), Sanders scheint mit seinem neuen Management noch viel vor zu haben, falls er den nächsten Kampf überzeugend gewinnt. Aber wenn er wirklich gegen einen Puncher wie Peter antreten sollte, würde mangelnde Fitness sicherlich böse bestraft, das muss wohl realistisch gesehen werden.........:confused:

Berman plots Sanders v Samuel bout
Posted on Friday, March 02, 2007 - 13:06
Corrie Sanders and Nigerian Samuel Peter could fight for a world heavyweight title next year if promoter Rodney Berman hits the target.
Sanders, making a comeback at 41, must still show he can reproduce his best form, but Berman is already planning to match him against Peter, who is after one of the four big titles.
Sanders will fight American Chris Koval at Emperors Palace, near Johannesburg, on May 5. He is back with Berman's Golden Gloves Promotion after their split soon after he lost in a WBC title challenge against Vitali Klitschko in 2004.
Klitschko, who retired after one more fight, has also announced a return to the ring to face the WBC champion Oleg Maskaev.
Peter, who earned the right to challenge Maskaev after back-to-back victories over James Toney, will face the winner of the bout between Klitschko and Maskaev.
Berman wants Sanders to face Peter if he beats either Klitschko or Maskaev.
"This is still very far from being confirmed, but I will do my best to stage this fight, especially if Peter wins," he said on Friday.
If Sanders and Peter meet, it will be the first bout involving two African fighters for the heavyweight crown. "It will be a blockbuster by any standards," said Berman.
"But Corrie must first show us that he is back to his best when he faces this Koval guy."
Berman is the only African promoter who has staged a world heavyweight title fight - the one between Lennox Lewis and Hasim Rahman at Carnival City in Brakpan in 2001.
If Sanders win his combeack bout impressively, Berman plans to give him four more fights before the end of the year.
"By March next year he will be ready to regain the world heavyweight crown."
Sanders knocked out Wladimir Klitschko in two rounds to win the WBO heavyweight title in Germany in March 2003.
Wladimir has since won the IBF title from American Chris Byrd and is rated as the best heavyweight in the world.
