Yes! There really is a Klitschko fight coming up and it is less than two weeks away. Wladimir Klitschko, the younger of the magnificent Klitschko brothers, is getting ready to meet with Samuel Peter on Saturday September 11th at the Commerzbank Arena in Frankfurt, Germany. The stake in this extraordinary meeting are the IBF Heavyweight Title; currently in the possession of one Wladimir Klitschko – who also holds the WBO Heavyweight Title and the IBO Heavyweight Title.

BetUs is offering great early odds on this incredible fight:

Samuel Peter, ranked number one heavyweight in his native Nigeria and eighth in the world, has taken on a serious challenge for next Saturday. However, the 29-year-old Las Vegas resident might just have what it takes to live through a meeting with Klitschko. He did after all knock out Nagy Aguilera in the IBF Heavyweight Title Eliminator in March 2010, ending the event after two rounds to the disappointment of the attending crowd, who may have felt a little short changed by the briefness of the event.

In his boxing career, Peter has taken on 37 opponents. He has won 34 of his fights – 27 of them by KO – and only suffered three losses. Unfortunately two of these three losses were suffered at the hands of a Klitschko. Wladimir Klitschko beat Peter by points in the NABF Heavyweight Title match in 2005; Vitaly Klitschko, the older brother, knocked Peter out in round 8 and kept his WBC Heavyweight Title.

Regardless of his previous experiences with the Klitschko force, Peter seems to be in outstanding shape at the moment. His past four fights have lasted no longer than four rounds and he shows no signs of slowing down. Klitschko might just have to watch himself, seeing as Peter will do everything in his power to prevent another victory by points to keep him apart from the coveted title.

Wladimir Klitschko on the other hand must be looking forward to this challenge – seeing as this unbelievable boxer has not met a truly challenging opponent in years. His most recent defeat dates back to 2004 and has been punching his way to the top ever since. Currently holding three heavyweight titles, Klitschko has been synonymous with boxing success for over ten years.

From his first appearance at the ring in 1996 Wladimir Klitschko proved himself as a phenomenon. Within the first round he had knocked out opponent Fabian Meza and the rest is quite literally sporting history. Thus far Klitschko has fought 57 matches, winning 54 (48 by KO) but – interestingly – suffering three losses by KO in turn.

Klitschko’s most recent meeting with Eddie Chambers in March 2010 seemed for the most part to avoid the classic Klitschko ending – a knock out. However, in the final round Klitschko again found the magic angle and Chambers was no longer available. It is likely that Klitschko will do something similar to Peter when they meet in the ring – but we shall not count on it. After all, Klitschko is five years older than Peter and the young challenger has already proven himself as a great contender with incredible will power.

Do not miss this excellent clash of giants at the Commerzbank Arena. The match will be broadcast live and is due at 4.00 EST – so tune in and marvel at the strength and strategy of these incredible sportsmen.

As the Champions League and Europa League get under way for the 2010-11 season, the two reigning champions from both of those tournaments will face each other in the UEFA Super Cup. Champions League victors Inter Milan will face Europa League titleholders Atletico Madrid on Friday, August 27 in what will likely be a clash of opposing mentalities.

The chance to win a piece of silverware early on in the season is always a treat for the managers, and both Rafael Benitez and Quique Flores will be keen to see that their respective teams are the one walking away with the trophy this weekend.

Inter Milan: -110
Draw: +230
Atletico Madrid: +270

Inter Milan: Rafa Benitez has wasted no time in announcing his 21-man squad for the Super Cup, and despite losing Thiago Motta and Davide Santon to injury the team looks incredibly strong. World Cup stars Wesley Sneijder, Julio Cesar, and Samuel Eto’o are all in the line-up, while Diego Milito, Goran Pandev, and Esteban Cambiasso will flesh out the ranks. Inter are coming off the back of their Supercoppa Italia win where they demolished Roma 3-1 care of a late Samuel Eto’o brace. The Milan club are strong favorites to win this fixture, and with the sort of team they have named it’s clear why.

Atletico Madrid: Their form in the Spanish La Liga last season may not have been as commendable as their run to the Europa League title, but Atletico Madrid boast a list of world class players regardless. Players like Diego Forlan, Sergio Aguero, and Simao all made their mark on the World Cup this year, and will be looking to steal the UEFA Super Cup out from under Inter’s noses. The Stade Louis II in Monaco will host this fixture, which may play into Atletico’s favor not having to play in front of thousands of Milanese fans at the San Siro. Whatever the outcome, it’s safe to say that Atletico Madrid defied the odds to claim the Europa League title last season and really have nothing to lose.

OG Tip: Inter to win comfortably.

With news that both Serena Williams and Juan Martin del Potro – 2009 US Open Champion – have withdrawn from the final Grand Slam of the year, the field has been cracked wide open for the remaining competitors.

In the lead up to this event, we have seen a number of different ATP and WTA champions, indicating that the prospective winners of the US Open may not be as clear cut as once thought. Roger Federer is back into the swing of things after his Cincinnati Masters win at the weekend, while Kim Clijsters is slight favorite to win back-to-back US Open titles next month.

As you can see by the odds, the Grand Slam veterans are at fairly short odds to win the US Open. But with the recent Tour results it’s hard to write off players like David Nalbandian, Mardy Fish, and Vera Zvonareva. If nothing else, we will be in for plenty of exciting tennis action over the next few weeks – but don’t be surprised to see a few unknowns in the final stages of the tournament.

Roger Federer: Cries of “the king is dead” have been belted out since Roger Federer’s quarterfinals exit at Roland Garros this year. Despite winning the Australian Open, the Fed Express has put in his poorest Grand Slam showing in seven years, and prior to last week he looked to be on course for another early exit at the US Open. However, a determined run at last weekend’s Cincinnati Masters saw the Swiss pick up not just the title, but also his form. If he continues his hard court dominance he’ll be a hard one to beat, especially with Juan Martin del Potro out of the tournament.

Andy Murray: Murray is at a critical time in his career. He may not have won a Grand Slam yet, but the 23-year-old has produced some wonderful results in tournaments this year. After reaching the final at the Australian Open, Murray followed it up with a semi-final spot at Wimbledon and victory over Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer to win the Canadian Masters. His hard court performances this season have been encouraging, and the Brit will be keen to repeat his heroics of the 2008 US Open, where he reached the final.

Kim Clijsters: The comeback queen is on a roll of massive proportions, and will be looking to collect her third Grand Slam title at the US Open this year. Since returning to tennis in 2009, the former world number one has raced up the rankings and is now sitting in third place on the Tour rankings. While she only managed to reach the quarterfinals in her last tournament, the 2009 champion is sitting at the best odds of claiming the US Open.

Keep an eye on BetUS throughout the coming weeks as more odds will become available. Right now you can only wager on who will win the tournament, but when the Grand Slam kicks off on August 30^th you will be able to make bets on the outcome of each match.
