Vitali “Dr. Ironfist” Klitschko, fresh from defending his WBC heavyweight title against Danny Williams, will step into the ring in April of this year against none other than former champion Hasim Rahman. Rahman, seemingly redidicated to the task of regaining the heavyweight championship, excited the boxing world with a thoroughly impressive fourth round knockout of Kali Meehan last November. Both Klitschko and Rahman |
have history with former champion Lennox Lewis as Rahman sensationally knocked Lewis out before being flattened himself in four rounds in 2001. Klitschko fought a bloody battle with Lewis in 2003, losing when he was considered unable to continue courtesy of hideous facial damage inflicted upon him by Lewis’s punches. Rahman has remained as vocal as ever before the announcement of this fight, assuring the boxing world that he will defeat Klitschko. We will see if the giant Ukrainian can make his size and strength tell against the more seasoned Rahman.
