Vitali Klitschko TKO 10 Larry Donald

11/23/2002 Westfalenhalle, Dortmund, Germany; 12 Rounds Heavyweight, WBA Intercontinental Title


This fight was very important for Vitali. First of all, he was coming back from an injury and had to take it easy on his left hand and his back. Second, Vitali had put on a dominating performance so that he could challenge Lennox Lewis. All this pressure and stress was clearly visible as older Klitschko boxed extremely cautiously in the early rounds. Then in the tenth round, Vitali knocked down Donald with a huge right hand. The fight continued until the referee stopped it following the third knockdown of Donald. This was the first stoppage ever for Donald in his 44-fight career.
