When you step into the boxing ring for a living, it's safe to say your confidence is up there with the best of them. That would explain the reasoning behind everybody wanting a piece of Wladimir Klitschko. The world heavyweight champion beat Kubrat Pulev with a fifth-round humiliation, according to ESPN, but already the attention has moved on to his next opponent. The star is busy planning his engagement and baby's arrival with Hayden Panettiere, but it's believed he wants a sizzling summer showdown. His options are between Tyson Fury, Shannon Briggs, Anthony Joshua, David Haye or possibly another big-named opponent, but which fighter has the best chance of beating him? Fury is seen as one of the fighters with all the tools to beat Wlad, but does he really have what it takes? British boxer Joshua is friends with Wlad, and many see him as a few years away from fighting at that level. The British pair remain as options, as does Haye, who famously lost to Wlad. He has been working on his return, and he's desperate for one more shot against the heavyweight champion. Read More »

In a matter of days Wladimir Klitschko will face Kubrat Pulev, but he also has Shannon Briggs and wife-to-be Hayden Panettiere to worry about. Briggs has been borderline stalking the world champion, demanding a fight. The soon-to-be-retiring champion is engaged to Hayden, and has a baby on the way, so one would forgive him if his mind was elsewhere. He seems reluctant to walk away, making many wonder if he will have to be forced out of the boxing ring. Could a minor slip up against Pulev or Briggs be that reason? You never know, but Pulev is likely to be his toughest opponent in a long, long time. Read More »
Wladimir Klitschko continues to drop hint after hint, suggesting that when he retires and focuses on his engagement and baby with Hayden Panettiere, that there will be a "new era". That new era will be dominated by his prodigy Anthony Joshua. The British boxing prospect has trained with the champ, and Wlad continues to explain that he's built for success, and that he's his future heir to the throne. Wlad will soon be taking orders from his 'Nashville' star wife, while A.J. is prepared to batter car wheels, and any opponent as he looks to become the champion, but will he turn on his friend Wladimir?

Wladimir Klitschko and Hayden Panettiere were hoping to get married soon, but the newly engaged duo will have to wait. Why, you ask? Because the bride-to-be believes she's too 'fat' with her pregnancy, and the world heavyweight champion has fights to train for, meaning it just makes sense for them to postpone it. On top of that, Hayden has turned down acting work because of her appearance, too. The 'Nashville' star hasn't held back, revealing exactly how she feels. Perhaps Wlad's prospect, Anthony Joshua, will step up to the plate, taking over from the champion, and maybe then, if Hayden's ready, the pair will tie the knot. Read More »
World heavyweight boxing champion Wladimir Klitschko is the ideal role model. He treats every opponent the same, with respect, and working hard before fighting them. Many boxers have used the Ukrainian as an inspiration to better themselves, but somehow the memo was lost in translation to one young boxer. Vido Loncar took on Algiras Baniulis in the European Youth Boxing Championships, which have been held in Zagreb, Croatia, but Vido lost the fight and proceeded to attack the referee, bringing shame to his nation. Will young boxers follow in the footsteps of Wladimir or will some continue to break the rules? Read More »

Tyson Fury, David Price, Dereck Chisora, David Haye and Joshua, are all heavyweight hopefuls that may just get some of boxing's biggest bouts in 2015, and that may include possible fights with Wlad himself.

Boxing is one of the most loved sports in the world, but sometimes it raises strange questions. Both Floyd Mayweather Jr and Wladimir Klitschko are not only two of the best boxers around today, but they are two of the greatest ever. Which is better? With the big gap in weight, we've never been able to find out, leaving a fantasy fight for only our imagination to run wild with. Floyd is preparing for his final fight, possibly with Amir Khan, while Wlad is preparing Anthony Joshua to take his place, but which champion would win if they were the same weight? Ex-world champion David Haye had his say awhile ago. Read More »
Wladimir Klitschko may be the boxing heavyweight champion of the world, but he's already insisted that British boxer Anthony Joshua has all the tools to replace him. Yet again, he's proven the champ is right. A.J. was supposed to have his first 'tough' fight, for the WBC international heavyweight title, and yet again, he won a fight within 2 rounds. The fight was stopped with Denis Bakhtov unable to continue. One of the next fights coming up for the WBC champ could be former world champion David Haye, but how will A.J. perform against the better boxers? Read More »
Wladimir Klitschko has spent years beating up opponents, especially the ones that talk trash to him, showing the world heavyweight champion little, or no respect. However, the star is engaged to Hayden Panettiere, and they're expecting a baby, so perhaps it's time he puts his gloves away and skips the early morning run. It may prove difficult for the champ to walk away, and that would explain why he's preparing top British prospect Anthony Joshua to take his place. As David Haye looks to make a comeback, and Shannon Briggs continues to stalk the father to be, could AJ silence the pair for him? Read More »

Matchroom boxing promoter Eddie Hearn is insisting that Anthony Joshua will beat Denis Bakhtov, then fight David Haye in the near future, but could he fight his close pal, the world heavyweight champion, Wladimir Klitschko? AJ is regarded as one of the best boxing prospects ever, but strangely he has hit out at himself, saying he's 'not that good', however, Wlad disagrees with that. The champion recently trained with AJ, and was then full of praise, and with him edging closer to retirement, could AJ face him, or replace him as the boxing king? Before long the recently engaged Wlad will want to spend time with Hayden Panettiere and his yet-to-be-born baby, but could he help AJ to take his place? Read More »
Wladimir Klitschko is obviously a man than that gets what he wants. The world heavyweight boxing champion has dominated his sport, he's set to marry his dream partner Hayden Panettiere , known for her role on 'Nashville', and he's due to become a father, with the engaged duo pregnant, expecting a baby in the near future. However, when he calls time on his career, what does he want for the future of his beloved sport? It seems like he'd like nothing more than to see top British heavyweight prospect Anthony Joshua take his place, and he might just get his way as he helps to ready him for after his retirement.
