Boxing Royalty Hits South Florida

World class boxing champ Wladimir Klitschko, 38, is
here in Miami this week. Local news stations interviewed him at The
Heavyweight Factory Gym in neighboring Hollywood, Florida, just
minutes outside of Miami. Yesterday, he spoke about boxing, his
brother, fellow boxer Vitali Klitschko, his love life and separately
Russian President Vladimir Putin and the conflict in his native
Ukraine.
Klitschko was interrupted during his training
session by former heavyweight champion, Shannon Briggs, who threw a
shoe at him and began issuing threats. He used the standard line
boxing critics and rivals use, stating the person in question
doesn't fight any real competition and needs to get in the ring with
(fill in the blank). It was quite entertaining (LOL).
"Briggs goes off on Klitschko"
"Klitschko discusses Briggs gym ambush"
"Boxing Champion Klitschko gives Putin warning"
It's been an interesting month in boxing. First
Carl Froch pushed George Groves.
Then Tyson Fury flipped over a table
during a press conference while verbally slamming rival Dereck
Chisora. Now Briggs goes after Klitschko. Wonder if Money May (Floyd
Mayweather) feels like doing any trash talking before his fight with
Marcos Maidana scheduled for May 3, 2014.
