Klitschko back in US, meets unbeaten heavyweight Jennings (The Associated Press)
It’s difficult to tell if Wladimir Klitschko has a tougher time holding up all his championship belts or defending them in the ring. ”It’s the opportunity I got some years later to be back in the States and back in the Garden.” So Klitschko posed with his WBA, IBO, WBO and IBO belts – the only one he doesn’t own is the WBC, which Deontay Wilder has – and talked of the success he’s had in Europe since that last U.S. bout, when he outpointed Sultan Ibragimov at the Garden. Although he’s held a heavyweight crown for nearly a decade, Klitschko, a native of Ukraine, has been much more in demand in Germany than in North America. In Europe, we had many great fights in big arenas, soccer stadiums with 60,000 people,” he said.
