Brothers at war? No way -- The Sun

By FRANK WARREN, The Sun

ANOTHER weekend and another routine win for one of the Klitschko brothers in a heavyweight division stagnating quicker than Geoff Hoon's career.

Wladimir's 12th-round KO of Eddie Chambers in Germany was watched at a stadium venue by more than 50,000 people.

This is the second week running that boxing has attracted huge live audiences, but it was no more than an exhibition.

In fact until trainer Manny Steward goaded him and said "you do not need another f****** decision" did he move out of safety first mode and stop Chambers.

And don't expect big brother Vitali's clash with Albert Sosnowski - one of the least deserving world title challengers ever - to be any better.

Until Wladimir and Vitali fight each other, then the heavyweight division will continue to mark time because I don't believe the general public know which brother is which!

The Klitschko brothers - perfectly understandably - don't want to trade blows, so we're in a stalemate.

They could face a legitimate contender or two though, with David Haye and Nikolay Valuev the most obvious choices. Yet those contests seem no nearer to happening.

Wladimir's fight on Saturday wasn't even shown on US TV. Can you imagine a big heavyweight fight back in the 1980s and 1990s not being shown in America?

Yet it is becoming increasingly hard to get fights on HBO or Showtime, with David Haye's clash against John Ruiz next weekend also facing a US blackout.

Talking of Haye, it looks like the Sauerland - the German promotional firm that has options over him - will force him to face Valuev in a rematch. Although it bagged him the world title, we don't want a repeat.

So the search is on for a young gun to challenge the Klitschkos' dominance, although at the age of 33, Wladimir will be around for a while.

Wily old fox Bob Arum believes he has found one in Cuban, Odlanier Solis, 26.

My two prospects, Sam Sexton and Derek Chisora, are a lot younger, but if they keep winning they've got as good a chance as anyone of getting a shot!
