With an impressive return to the boxing ring, Vitali Klitschko reclaimed his WBC belt on October 11, 2008, in Berlin, Germany. 1400 days outside of the ring, beat Samuel Peter by technical KO when the Nigerian could not continue in round 9. Klitschko fought tall and used his precise left jab and hook to keep Peter from closing the distance. His consistent jab, along with stiff over hand rights proved too much for Peter.

Behind on all cards, Peter did not return to the ring for round 9 and the fight was stopped. Klitschko’s victory marked the first time in boxing history that two brothers hold heavyweight titles simultaneously. Klitschko’s younger brother, Wladimir, is the IBF, IBO and WBO heavyweight world champion.
