San Jose Mercury News: Klitschko-Sanders an intriguing bout

Update: Vitali Klitschko found unconscious in kitchen after encounter with cereal box.

Los Angeles, CA—Neighbors found Vitali Klitschko unconscious this morning, partially curled on the kitchen floor near a broken box of Kellogg’s Rice Krispies brand cereal. Klitschko woke minutes later on a gurney outside the ambulance, remarking: “I walked in the kitchen and I was getting breakfast and when I opened the cupboard that box of cereal just jumped me.” He added: “It must have gotten me pretty good.” He then passed out again as he was loaded on to the ambulance. Doctors have not commented on the case and Klaus-Peter Kohl, Klitschko’s manager, refused to consider delaying the Klitschko-Sanders fight on Saturday. Klitschko’s coach suggested that they were still investigating the incident: “First of all, we want to know whether this accident could have been arranged…that was a pretty big box of cereal. We also need to do some planning... we know that Sanders can be a little slow but he still throws combinations and can move sometimes faster than Vitali but what happens if he comes into the ring with, let’s say, a box of Wheaties or Raisin Bran?”
