Joshua KO Klitschko: Three Years On – Did Joshua Peak That Night?

April 26, 2020April 26, 2020 by James Slater

Wladimir Klitschko - Joshua has fought just five times since (compare that with the heavyweights of the golden era, the 1970s, when five fights a year was not completely out of the question for a star heavyweight), and he has of course been beaten. Joshua looked okay, if not great in beating Carlos Takam, he won a dull decision over Joseph Parker after that, then he overcame a rocky start to stop Alexander Povetkin in style, and then Joshua had his two fights with Andy Ruiz.

Would Tyson Fury Have Beaten A Prime Wladimir Klitschko?

February 28, 2020 by James Slater

Wladimir Klitschko - Currently riding high after his quite magnificent stoppage win over Deontay Wilder this past Saturday, heavyweight king Tyson Fury does not say the February 22 win is the finest of his career. No, that distinction goes to his big November 2015 upset over the long-reigning Wladimir Klitschko. To Fury, that night will always be one he remembers with great fondness – how he went to Germany as a hefty (4/1) underdog, only to pull off the upset with a technical performance that though dull, was effective enough in getting Fury the decision.
