Klitschko vs. Klitschko isn’t going to happen, says columnist Bill Dwyre. The brothers who have dominated the heavyweight division for a decade won’t get in the ring against each other. Younger brother Wladimir articulated it nicely once again over lunch the other day. “Don King once offered us $100 million to fight,” he said. “My reaction was, how much is your mother worth?” Photo: Ukrainian heavyweight boxers Vitali, left, and Wladimir Klitschko pose during a news conference in Moscow on July 8. Don’t expect to see the two brothers square off in the ring. Credit: Natalia Kolesnikova / AFP/Getty Images
