WBC heavyweight champiom Vitali Klitschko (40-2) and challenger Shannon Briggs (51-5-1) meet face to face in Kiev, Ukraine to announce their championship fight on October 16 at O2 World in Hamburg, Germany. Briggs, a former WBO heavyweight champion, will have his third attempt to win a major belt. He was previously beaten in his first attempt by then former undisputed heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis. He won the WBO title with a twelve round TKO of Sergei Liakhovich in November 2006, but lost the title in his first defense against Sultan Ibragimov eight months later. [Click Here To Read More]

funny pics
I particularly like the one where Briggs is pointing at a precise flag on the WBC belt, probably the US flag, in an obvious attempt to say that the belt will be back in the states (Vitali doesn't look happy on that pic either) -
The last photo is the best, when a reporter asks "who are you again sir?"Originally posted by LeTombeur View PostComment

no disrespect to Briggs, he appears to be a great, humble family man but he looks homeless in the last picture. reminds of dave chappelle's "tyrone biggums" crackhead skit (chappelle as the crackhead wearing a crazy old looking suit
)
it literally looks like vitali is fighting a bum
I hope Briggs has the stamina to fight a full 5 rounds at leastComment
