Vitali Klitschko is a millionaire many times over. He has the wealth and profile to be on any beach or hotel he chooses. He’s currently armed with weapons waiting for Russia to attack as he aims to defend his country. This needs recognition of the highest order. What a man.

The guy lost a fight to a quality boxer. This is so dramatic. Who can blame boxers for not taking hard fights when they’re faced with assessments like this in defeat. There’s plenty left for Chris Eubank to explore.

Whether you think it’s right or not, Daniel Dubois broke a code last night. You can preach about his health and safety, but it’s the quality that makes fighters unique. I don’t necessarily agree with the code, but 99.9% of fighters live by it.
