For the book

Vitali Klitschko will defend his World Boxing Council heavyweight title against Hasim Rahman in Las Vegas on November 12. The 34-year-old Klitschko twice pulled out of fights with former champion Rahman earlier this year. Klitschko had to withdraw from the first bout due to a thigh injury. A back problem kept him out the second time.
