Is these true, I forgot were I read this. I think Klitchko made a good re-entrance on to HBO with the Pulev fight. This was Klitchkos most entertaining fight in years. This was not a total mismatch like Klitchkos previous fights.
HBO signed a 3 fight deal with Klitchko

Yes, that looks to be the plan. If not Jennings than crazy as Briggs.
While I am not high on the HWT division-this is a good move so long a s wlad doesn't have anymore Haye/Leapai debacles.Comment

Yeah if he continous to produce fights like the pulev fight that would be great.Comment

Yep, noway HBO are going to showcase anything less than Wlad v American. So Jennings/Wilder/Stiverne up next.
Looks like Fury may have to wait a bit more which might be a good thing.Comment

Klistchko seems to be the same old, clinch heavy fighter that he's been for the last 5 years.
Beyond that, outside of the sideshow that would amount from the Shannon Briggs fight, there isn't really a marketable American heavyweight challenger that would even be viable for HBO, unless you think "Pudgy" Andy Ruiz is worth anything.
Bryant Jennings is an interesting option to consider, but I'm almost certain that the Stiverne/Wilder winner is a fight that is worth more to him (purse, style, tv attention, etc) than the Klistchko fight could ever be, and that getting such a fight would likely mean Jennings going off of HBO to get the fight (SHO, or the rumored NBC deal, would be the most viable options I'd imagine).Comment
