Klitschko-Joshua was one of the better heavyweight dust-ups in a while. It was named Fight of the Year by every major publication (Boxing Writers/BWAA, Ring Magazine, ESPN…) and deservedly so. I've rewatched it several times over the years. They were supposed to rematch but Wlad decided to permanently retire. He's now a first ballot HOFer class of 2021.that was a great fight. Wlad looked great throughout except he was forced to brawl more. can't subtract anything from it and based on that Wlad had the fighting style built for longevity; he could have kept going if he wanted to but chose to quit
