Gary Shaw, promoter of heavyweight contender Bryant Jennings, had a few laughs while reading some of the recent statements that appeared on various blogs from former WBO heavyweight champion Shannon Briggs. On April 25th at New York's Madison Square Garden, Jennings will challenge WBO/IBO/IBF/WBA heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko in an HBO televised main event. For the better part of 2014, Briggs was traveling all over the place in hot pursuit of a Klitschko payday. The highlight of that campaign was the incident where Briggs confronted Klitschko in a Florida restaurant. The 43-year-old Briggs sat down at the champion's table and began to eat his food.
