Corrie Sanders: The Heavy Hitter:
Wladimir Klitschko, a retired boxing champion, faced many powerful opponents in his career. However, none hit harder than South African fighter Corrie Sanders. In 2003, Sanders, also known as The Sniper, knocked Klitschko down twice in round one and ultimately won the match in round two.
David Haye: The Unsuccessful Challenger:
Another tough opponent Klitschko faced was David Haye. Despite Haye's efforts, Klitschko dominated the match and emerged victorious by unanimous decision in 2011. Haye struggled to close the gap and was unable to defeat the heavyweight champion.
Tyson Fury: The Upset:
In 2015, Klitschko faced Tyson Fury and suffered a surprising loss by unanimous decision. Fury outboxed Klitschko and claimed the unified heavyweight world titles. A rematch was anticipated, but Fury's mental health issues prevented it from happening.
Anthony Joshua: The Thrilling Contest:
Klitschko's match against Anthony Joshua in 2017 was a thrilling battle. Klitschko knocked Joshua down twice but was ultimately defeated by a thunderous uppercut in the eleventh round. This fight marked the end of Klitschko's professional boxing career.
Retirement and Support:
Since retiring, Klitschko has been involved in Ukraine's conflict with Russia. He supported fellow boxer Oleksandr Usyk and attended his historic win in Saudi Arabia. Klitschko praised Usyk's skills and called him the best fighter in modern history. With a rematch in the works, Klitschko continues to support Usyk and represent Ukraine in the boxing world.
