Klitschko takes third world crown
BERLIN: Exactly 1,400 days after his last fight Vitali Klitschko beat champion Samuel Peter on Saturday to regain the WBC heavyweight belt and seal the Klitschko brothers' world domination of the division.
The 37-year-old Klitschko - elder brother of IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight champion Vladimir - added the WBC crown to the family's collection having last fought in December 2004 before a knee injury led to his temporary retirement.
In his first fight for four years, Klitschko dethroned Nigeria's Peter who retired at the end of the eighth round to hand Klitschko a technical knock-out and crown him world champion for the third time.
