In his first fight in nearly four years, 37-year-old former world champ Vitali Klitschko (36-2, 35 KOs) joined his brother Wladimir as reigning world champion, regaining the WBC title with a one-sided eighth round TKO over Sam Peter (30-2, 23 KOs) on Saturday night at the O2 World Arena in Berlin, Germany.
The much taller Klitschko kept Peter at bay with his long reach in round one, cracking Peter with some hard rights. As the bout progressed, Vitali continued to strafe Peter from long range and although Klitschko was keeping his mouth open and his hands dangerously low, Peter had little success reaching him.
Klitschko swept the first four rounds as announced by the WBC's open scoring. Vitali continued to batter Peter mercilessly as the bout progressed with round eight his most dominant of the bout.
A swollen, frustrated and clueless Peter quit in his corner after eight rounds.
