Klitschko Must Face WBC Mandatory Gomez

At the 46th annual WBC Convention in Chengdu, China, it was declared that newly crowned WBC heavyweight champion "Dr. Ironfist" Vitali Klitschko must take on WBC #1 mandatory challenger Juan Carlos Gomez as his next opponent.

Vitali had requested to do a voluntary defense, but it has been decided that Gomez will be his next opponent. No dates or locations have been set yet, but if a decision can't be made soon, there will be a purse bid on December 19th at the WBC’s headquarters in Mexico City between K2 promotions and ARENA which will decide this.
