Ex-champ Rahman to face Barrett

LAS VEGAS: Former heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman will face Monte Barrett on July 23, with the winner taking on WBC champ Vitali Klitschko later this year.

The venue will be determined later, promoter Don King announced on Thursday.

Ukrainian-born Klitschko and Rahman were scheduled to meet on April 30 at Madison Square Garden, but Klitschko had back surgery on April 19. He was injured while training.

The 33-year-old Klitschko (35-2, 34 knockouts) is tentatively scheduled to meet the Rahman-Barrett winner on Sept. 24.

Rahman, (40-5, 33 KOs), who knocked out Lennox Lewis in 2001 to become the heavyweight champ, is the current WBC No. 1-ranked heavyweight. -- AP
