2017 has been a good year for boxing already, and it’s about to get a whole lot better with one of the most relevant heavyweight bouts in years on deck for today.
On one side, the battle-tested veteran Wladimir Klitschko will be in the unfamiliar position of challenger as he looks to regain titles he lost to Tyson Fury and try to take one his opponent owns. On the other side, the young and hungry British fighter Anthony Joshua will look to fully arrive on the scene with the biggest win of his career.
Klitschko (64-4, 53 KO) and Joshua (18-0, 18 KO) will be battling for three titles - Joshua’s IBF title, and the vacant WBA (Super) and IBO heavyweight titles.
