Big fight appetiser

NEW YORK. — Wladimir Klitschko joined Joe Louis in the record books with his title bout on Saturday but the event took a decided back seat to boxing’s latest “Fight of the Century” — Mayweather v Pacquiao.

Klitschko matched the legendary Louis by climbing into the ring for his record-tying 27th world heavyweight championship fight but the Ukrainian’s win against Bryant Jennings was a mere prelude to bigger things.

“This event with Wladimir Klitschko, heavyweight champion of the world returning to Madison Square Garden, is the perfect hors d’oeuvre to what the main course will be next week,” Peter Nelson, HBO sports programming vice president, said. — Reuters.
