WBC Heavyweight champion will make an optional WBC title defense before meeting WBC champ Emeritus Vitali Kltischko in October. It’s been said that Don King, who promotes Golota 100% and co-promotes Peter with Duva Boxing, would like to make Peter vs. 40-year-old Andrew Golota who is ranked #8 in the WBC rankings after winning three fights in a row.
Some media reports implied that Peter’s lead promoter Dino Duva is not interested in matching his man Peter with Golota. So we decided to talk to the particulars involved…
Scoop to Dino Duva: Can you please clarify if the optional defense against Golota for Samuel Peter is going to happen or not? Golota is saying you don’t want it. Is this so? Is this because you admit Golota is a little too dangerous, with the big Vitali fight looming in October?
Dino Duva: “There is no deal right now for any fight, although we are working on several options.
Tell Andrew that it’s a joke to think that myself or Samuel “The Nigerian Nightmare” Peter is afraid of him.
If anything , Andrew really needs to think about whether he really wants to get in the ring with Sam. Sam
is a very scary African man to be in the ring with who comes to destroy people in the ring.”
Andrew Golota’s response to Duva’s words: “Dino Duva has more balls than Peter. Scary? What is scary? He has more balls than Peter.”
