The manager for WBC World Champion Vitali Klitschko of Ukraine, Bernd Bonte, said that the fight with former WBA heavyweight champion Russian Nikolay Valuev is "dead", according to boxingnews24.com.

Bonte also said "Promoter [Don] King is crazy. His demands for Valuev are not acceptable." Initially, Klitschko officered the 36-year-old Valuev USD 1 million to fight him.

However, when this was rejected, Klitschko upped his over to USD 2 million. This too was declined. Valuev's promoter wanted USD4 million and part of the TV rights

According to Klitschko's manager, 'with this fight off the table, Vitali will look to line up a fight against number #2 ranked WBC heavyweight contender unbeaten former Olympic Cuban heavyweight Gold Medalist Odlanier Solis next'.

Solis first has a fight to take care of next month against Carl Davis Drumond on March 20th. But if Solis can take care of that fight without being upset or badly cut or injured in any way, he could be in the picture for Klitschko for his next fight.
