Vitali hopes to keep family dream alive

LOS ANGELES: Vitali Klitschko hopes to salvage at least part of a family dream when he fights for the World heavyweight boxing championship on Saturday only two weeks after watching his younger brother Wladimir suffer defeat fighting for another version of the title.

And the older brother's family pride will be further roused as his opponent in Los Angeles on Saturday, South African Corrie Sanders, stopped Wladimir in the second round of a world title fight in Germany last year.

The giant Ukrainian brothers have long dreamt that they would jointly rule the heavyweight division. They have always refused to fight each other. ``We are doing everything to make our dream come true,'' Vitali told reporters at a news conference on Wednesday.
