Chisora handed Klitschko bout?

Vitali Klitschko will defend his WBC heavyweight title against Great British fighter Dereck Chisora in February 2012, according to German newspaper Bild.

Chisora, 27, recently lost his British and Commonwealth titles to fellow Brit Tyson Fury.

His next bout was against Robert Helenius, where he again slipped to defeat, albeit on a controversial points decision.

Chisora's performance against Helenius reportedly impressed 40-year-old Klitschko.

"An interesting opponent," said the Ukrainian. "For me, he won the European Championship against Robert Helenius quite clearly."

Bild has claimed that the fight will take place in Munich on Saturday, February 18, adding that he will then take on David Haye in June.
