Ali Bashir ( the ACTUAL brains in the Klitchko camps ) confirmed Klitchko hurt Wilder badly ....those are HIS words ...he was there .
I can believe that... but "KTFO" and badly hurt are a bit different. He was hurt against Haye when They showed clips from their sparring as well...

He also disputed recently that Nelsons comments of Usyk out working Klitchko werent exactly true in preperation for Fury , this guy doesnt lie which is why he clashed with others in the Klitchko camp .
If only Klit kept Bashir as a coach and not Banks...
He was advised by his manager not to rush fighting Klitschko,
so that should confirm it.
It's not like Wladimir still had plenty of fights left.
It clearly meant they'll just let him retire and disappear from the scene.
If that's true - He actually deserves credit and tons of respect for that. Get "KTFO" twice and stay there for the third... then come back to become a HW Champion? Now that's mental fortitude.
I don't believe it though. Johnny Nelson said Wilder was knocked down by body shot from Klitschko... Wilder shut it down quickly and sensibly saying that We didn't even see Klitschko throw body shot in YEARS :lol1:.
I don't know if it's true or not, but that's a terrible example.
Klit was a very hard puncher so if he knocked down Wilder it doesn't mean anything because Fury is not a hard puncher, and didn't knock down Klit (who has a very weak jaw) so there is no reason to think that Fury will knock down Wilder.
