Wladimir Klitschko vs. Samuel Peter, billed as "Boardwalk Brawls", was a professional boxing match contested on 24 September 2005.

Despite this, many observers continued to question both Wladimir's chin and his stamina, as a result of the nature of his three losses to Ross Puritty, Corrie Sanders and Brewster.

[3][4] Indeed, when he interviewed by ESPN in June 2005, shortly before his final fight against Kevin McBride, Tyson would name Peter as one of his favourite fighters from the newest crop of heavyweights.

It would be an eliminator for the IBF and WBO belts held by Chris Byrd and Brewster (both former Klitschko opponents), in addition Peter's NABF and the vacant NABO titles were on the line.

"[8] Veteran trainer Angelo Dundee predicted an early Peter knockout, saying "You can't train a chin".

[10] Most expected the bout to end in a knockout, given the question marks over Klitschko's stamina and the feeling that Peter would be unable to outbox Wladimir.

[14] In the chief support Miguel Cotto defended his WBO Light Welterweight belt against Ricardo Torres, who was a last minute replacement for Gianluca Branco.

[16] Klitschko spent much of the fight working behind jab, landing the occasional right hand and moving away from the advancing Peter.

[22][23] Peter would bounce back with wins over Robert Hawkins and Julius Long before he would face James Toney in a WBC title eliminator in September 2006.
