When is klitschko fight

Showtime Boxing provided a still:. The explosion of violence left Klitschko with a cut over his left eye but also saw Joshua looking rather spent, and the Ukranian came back in unbelievable fashion, pummeling Joshua in a way the year-old had yet to experience as a pro. All credit to Klitschko for fighting like a true champ here. This is man stuff. Deep end of pool. Joshua being tested. The sixth round would see a heavy-legged, hard-breathing Joshua take the canvas for the first time in his career after a thunderous straight right hand.

The clinching from Klitschko made only a few brief appearances, and Joshua used that to his advantage, working the body in spurts. Eventually, Joshua's power and spirit won out.

I sparred 12 rounds just with my left hand, which is really challenging against a southpaw.

So it was good, deep practice. I wondered what you were doing. After the laughter faded Joshua made a serious technical point. But the jab is so important. Don't say 'should have', 'would have', 'could have'. Put your best foot forward.
