Wladimir Klitschko, WBA, WBO, IBF & IBO Heavyweight Champion Discusses This Weekend's Heavyweight Champions Gathering at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FL
"I think it's an amazing event that happens once in a lifetime," said Klitschko following his workout at the Lucky Street Boxing Gym in Hollywood, Florida. "I'm not sure if an event like this has ever taken place in history of boxing when all of the heavyweights, former heavyweight champions, coming together. It's something amazing.
"I've seen a picture of Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Norton together and it was an amazing shot - it was a great shot for history. I think this Friday and Saturday is going to be really exciting. It is going to be a time where everybody is going to get a piece of memory, and that is the reality. It is a tough event to put together, I am happy that it is taking place, where all of the heavyweights can come together, have conversations and ask questions - and get some answers.
"It shows that we are all one community - one family, actually. There are some times in history where we didn't like each other because we were fighting in the ring, but in a way we respect and love each other. It is definitely something that is going to be an historic moment."
Shannon Briggs?
And that's at the top. (laughs) Maybe we'll get there to watch him fight. Maybe not. It depends on my training schedule - but I definitely will enjoy the night when all of the heavyweights get together. I definitely have a couple of questions to ask some of them.
