Vladimir Klitschko must reject George Foreman Record “Gift”

Published

Wladimir Klitschko George Foreman

Vladimir Klitschko turned 49 this week, just a few days after the legendary heavyweight george Foreman.

Reigning the longest [sanctioning body] World Heavyweight Champion can always break George’s “Massive” record. At the end of last year, the rumors about the return of Klitschko were common when the head of the Riyjad Turki season Alalshikh swore to enter and facilitate Ukrainian get a shot in defeating Benchmark Foreman.

Foreman won the highest division crown at 45, twenty years after he lost the world heavyweight title with Muhammad Ali. Texan created a seemingly indisputable record, which Klitschko considered a challenge.

Vladimir Klitschko eyes the oldest feat

In 2019, Klitschko mentioned his ambitions two years after he withdrew from boxing after a knockout technical defeat with Anthony Joshua at the Wembley stadium in England.

“I train regularly. Almost every day,” Klitschko said Fox Sports’s Fair Game. “I need it like breathing air, but I like to play sports.

“I still have it, but I don’t know how long I can keep this form. It must be something unusual. Amazing. But if I can become a 45-year-old, 46-year-old, and if I still have it.

“If I still had sparks in my stomach, I would think that I could beat the album and become the oldest heavyweight champion at this extraordinary moment.

“I mean that now there is only one guy, George Foreman. But by that time I will think about it.”

Breaking the George Foreman record

Pandemic and Russian war suspended these plans by 2022, when Kliczko turned 46 and qualified for achievement. Three years later, Klitschko is not closer to securing the ranking needed to compete for heavyweight belts.

“Dr. Steelhammer” lost the last two fights and has not been working for eight years. Each body sanctioning even thinking about the release of almost a 50-year-old cracks in the title would have to follow the rules.

Kliczko would have to win at least one balmy -up match before he questioned the title of IBF, WBA, WBO or WBC.

Even then it is not that straightforward. Sanctioning bodies have mandatory pretenders whom Klitschko cannot remove the finger click.

Agit Kabayel is a short-lived WBC line, and Joseph Parker has a short-lived WBO title. At the same time, Derek Chisora ​​was named IBF in force with the World Boxing Association [WBA] Having Kubrat Pulev as a secondary owner of titles and Fabio Wardley as a claimant.

The weight class is a mess, and Daniel Dubois was handed out with an IBF belt without heading to a real master, Oleksandr Usyk.

Even in the face of Usyk in Ukraine, it is beyond the table, because the couple is forceful friends, and the situation in their native country remains too uncertain. Brother Kliczko, Vitali, the mayor of Kiev, has already outlined that boxing in this country is impossible.

Vladimir Klitschko and Usyk have always fought in Germany or Saudi Arabia, taking into account a special dispensation for a special one -off event.

However, legends do not seem to fight too much.

This only leaves Dubois, which can potentially be the one who will give Kliczko a chance. The winner will then face Derek Chisora ​​in the second of the two international boxing federations [IBF] Fighting later this year.

If this scenario occurs, an advertisement should be announced in the next four weeks.

The gift must be rejected

Foreman’s record has survived time for over twenty years, and many in sport think that they deserve to be supported, unless someone fully earns him, which Klitschko does not have.

The deceased foreman returned to sport in 1987 and fought almost 30 times to get a crack at Michael Moorer in Las Vegas. His longest spell at that time was 19 months.

Klitschko is outside of eight years of this April and he would only have the opportunity thanks to a gift that he would have to reject to avoid the anger of boxing and media fans.

It would be a black eye of Foreman if any boxer, legendary or not, received his leg to challenge his extraordinary feat.

Meanwhile, the three -time heavyweight champion and the winner of the Golden Olympic medal paid their own tribute to Foreman after hearing his gloomy passage on Friday.

“Massive George” leaves a great void in a world boxing family and more, “said Klitschko.” He jumped all the values ​​that make “sweet science” so unique.

“He wrote our most attractive pages and a great album. We will never forget him. Condolences for his family, friends and fans. Rip Champ.”

Such as George Foreman will never be noticeable again.

Boxing results: Josh Warrington’s dubious tactics and tired efficiency The protected decision wins with the cordial assad Asif Khan

The former two-time featherweight champion Josh Warrington (32-4-1, 8 Kos) threw a three-time lost series, beating Veteran Asad Asifa Khan (19-7-1, 5 Kos) by a 10-person unanimous decision on Saturday evening on the Arena of the Park community in England.

(Loan: Mark Robinson)

The results are 99-89, 99-90 and 97-91.

Khan looked as if he intended to submit to the point of the competition, but he returned and fought quite well from the seventh round. He pressed Warrington, landing from time to time, thrown out of the outside, thrown out of the outside. In the last four rounds, Josh looked tired and held a lot.

Khan looked like a stronger warrior from the seventh round, pressing Josh and forcing him to hold. The power of Warrington disappeared and did not look comfortable with the perseverance that Khan showed. It can be said that the countryman from India really wanted to win because he fought the heart, and Warrington did not expect this kind of fight.

Illegal blows

He also threw refreshed rabbit blows, which seemed her main weapon in his arsenal. Many judges would punish Warrington for using this blow, but it was enduring from a 34-year-old.

Warrington dropped Khan in the sixth round with an aligned right rabbit textbook in the back of the head. The referee did not see it. Later in the round, the judge punished Khan for losing a mouthpiece. He lost the mouthpiece at least four times in the fight.

It was noticeable. The hit on the back of the head, which Warrington thrown, should lead to at least two points, if not more. I saw a warrior escaping with so many gross blows of the rabbit, without punishment or disqualification.

Based on this Warrington performance, it would be a bad idea for him to face any of the best warriors at 126 or 130. Dazn commentators talked about the possibility that there would be a challenge for the world title. It’s crazy. With record 1-3 in the last four fights he does not deserve to fight for the title. Warrington will be destroyed by any of the champions in both divisions. It wouldn’t be sports.

Boxing results: Sany Dalton Smith Size too much for Germanin: Three staggers distinguish the dominant

Image: Boxing Results: Dalton Smith's Sheer Size Too Much for Germain: Three Knockdowns Highlight Dominant

#1 WBC RANKED FIGHT CENTENER DALTON SMITH (18-0, 13 KO) used its huge advantage to drive a wide 12-round unanimous decision against #14 IBF Fringe Fringer Mathieu Germain (26-3-1, 11 KOS) on Saturday evening in the main event at the Park community arena.

(Loan: Mark Robinson)

Smith dropped Germain, 35 -year -old three times in battle, in rounds 2, 11 and 12. He was punished for a low blow in the 11th round after he began to send himself, trying to knock out his smaller, weaker and senior opponent. Germain sometimes landed, but he lacked power and size to hurt a much larger Smith.

The results are 117-107, 119-105 and 119-105.

Noticeable irritation

Germain spent most of the fight, moving around the ring, trying to avoid massive shots from Dalton, which looked on two larger divisions in the ring than him. Dalton resembled a younger weighing weight in a airy welterweight. He had no chance against him with so many adverse size; That is why he stayed in motion, holding and frustrating Smith.

At the end of the fight, Smithi was clearly annoyed by Mathieu that he did not stand still so that he could land great power shots to knock him out. He tried to force the crowd to pressure from the opponent, that he was still, which was stupid.

Hearna strategy

The person to whom Smith should be furious Eddie HearnFor choosing Germanine from a close rock ranking of 140 pounds in place 14. It is not clear why Hearn matched Dalton with Germanain, and not one of the five best rivals who could give him a real test.

This is a magical question, because Smith has not gained any real experience of this fight and definitely did not prepare him to challenge the challenge of the WBC Lightweight Welter Wweight Alberto Puello master, which is much better than this guy. He could match Smith with Gary Antuanne Russell or Subriel Matias instead of Germanine to prepare him for the title. This would of course be risky because these guys have power that would give Smith problems.

Smith is too large to fight for the title IBF 140-LB against Richardson Hitchins, because there is a 10-pound hydration rule that he would have to follow. There is no chance that Smith can do a secondary weight control without exhaustion to such an extent that it would be an simple sign for Hitchins.

Locomotive

In his first fight under the recent match agreement, the former electrician Padley dropped the ganggly, slightly striking Cvetanovic twice in the fifth round to get space. Judge Steve Gray stopped the competition after the second knocking out the round. The official stop time was 1:13 Fifth round.

Although the 29 -year -old Cvetanovic defeated the count, Gray decided to stop the fight. Serbian was just beaten in every round, showing zero power, and he had nothing to offer. He was of course well chosen by Matchroom and was considered harmless to Padley.

During the first stunning Padley, he grated forward, landing in constant leftist combinations in a similar way to the piston. He looked like an elderly locomotive with the way he threw his combinations when charging the retreating Cvetanovica. When Josh imprisoned him in the line, he stuck him on the canvas with repetitive arrows.

Cvetanovic showed that a lot of heart gets up and decides to continue the fight, because he just ate 15 shots in the head in this sequence. It is true that Padley cannot break the eggs, but with the way he pounded on him, he has already taken enough. When the action was resumed, Padley was over him, attacking recklessly.

Cvetanovic caught Padley with a enormous right hand, which was thrown in everything he had, but he fired well. Padley continued to unload with the final dam, then sent it after combining with three tough right hands to his head. When Cvetanovic got up, judge Steve Gray decided to stop the fight.

Backward

Padley went down to the ninth knockout defeat with the WBC Lightweight Shakur Stevenson champion on February 22 in Riyadh. Promoter Eddie Hearn, who chose Padley over the much more hazardous Cuban Southpaw Jadier Herrera, so that Shakur could fight, he liked what he saw so much that he signed him on the contract. Most fans were not impressed by Padley.

They were more disgusted Shakur, who wounded in his frail hands and showed little power in the fight with a guy who would not last more than one or two rounds with the airy champion of Gervont Davis or Keyshawn Davis.
