Good on him, he was a good champions and a gent. Enjoy your retirement while you got the braincells to enjoy your money.

Oh great..now we get to see the mandatory bum Pulev get another title shot...oh well, it will be good to see AJ flatline him out of boxing....Ortiz should have gotten the opportunity as he is also a mandatory.

The entire fight was even, you illiterate chump. AJ certainly didn't win the first 4 rounds and even if he did, they were close rounds, so how did AJ dominate?

I never said Joshua dominated it you immigrant Euro freeloader....Joshua won the 1st part and then klitchko won the mid rounds and then Joshua took over again in the 10th round...so read properly you inbred Euro freeloader

Boring? Just depends if one is a casual boxing fan or not. Those of us that have trained or fought boxing, will understand that that was massively a professional beating of Wlad by Tyson.

I wasn't referring to the defeat he took from Tyson (i agree it was a masterful performance by Fury) i was referring to the decade of **** title defences and lack of contenders during his reign as champion, not all his own fault of course but you cant hide from the fact that the Heavyweight division was much more exciting before his reign and is now looking a lot more exciting again after his reign which led me to label his reign as champion as BORING!!! i'm sure the Casuals and like minded boxing fans would agree on that

.... and then you woke up. Like I said, the first 4 rounds were close and could've gone either way. Klitschko was outjabbing AJ, and he was answering with flashy, but not very effective spurts.

Learn to write properly and then I might read it the same way, Forrest.

"Fairwinds and following seas!" Peace and blessings to a great champion, and the same for his family and the people of Ukraine! **** *****!

That's too bad. Wlad was so close to beating Joshua. I understand. Retire easy Champ.

It's a great call.

It was kind of sad seeing him start to lose his edge, even if it did give us a classic fight. He's had a great reign, but I also think it is a good time to bow out. The young lions have to have their time in the sun as well.

Now he has his brain intact, his bank balance is ridiculously fat, he has his family and all is good for him.

I'm just thinking Wladimir Klitschko never realized his dream of capturing the only belt that truly mattered to him ( The WBC ) -- the belt of greats, that his own brother once held...I got say, he must feel that indeed he did not accomplish everything he set out for in this sport and this is going haunt him for the rest of his days

...fortunately I believe its evident that Joshuas power is overrated because he did not have enough strength to badly injure a past prime old man or knock him out unconscious ; not even a blacken-eye or a significant wound from this battle?! so can you imagine what a prime 38-0 Deontay Wilder done to this man? I hate to think of it.

It's that time, great career, nothing else to prove.
