Lewis in title fight with Ukrainian

LENNOX LEWIS now looks set to defend his WBC heavyweight title against Vitali Klitschko next April in America, according to the Ukrainian’s promoter.

Universum supremo Klaus-Peter Kohl insists a deal has been agreed with Lewis' management for the fight to go ahead on either April 12 or 19, with Las Vegas the probable venue.

"I have always said that the fight will come," said Kohl on his organisation's website, www.boxing.de. "The only thing left open to decide is where the fight will take place. It will either be in Las Vegas or another US city."
