There’s always a desire to see the moment you are living in as “historic.” We all want to be the stars of our own narrative, so we shape the world around us in such a way that this, THIS right here in front of us is history. And so the word historic gets thrown around too often.
Saturday’s boxing match is historic.
Anthony Joshua vs. Wladimir Klitschko has become the biggest Heavyweight boxing fight in many years. Ever since the Tyson/Holyfield/Lewis era ended, Heavyweight boxing has been dominated by the predominantly Eastern European physical specimens - no better epitomized than by the Klitschko brothers.
