    IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (63-3, 53 KOs) will be returning to the ring in the next four months to defend his title against either unbeaten Bryant Jennings (19-0, 10 KOs) or Shannon Briggs (57-6-1, 50 KOs) on April 25th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

    The fight will be televised by HBO. This will be Wladimir’s 18th title defense, and it’s expected to be a very winnable one whether he’s facing Jennings or Briggs. Jennings is the first option for Wladimir, but if his management are unable to iron out a deal with him then they’ll go ahead and look to make the fight with Briggs.

    Gotta figure all of the Shannon Briggs nonsense Wlad has been a part of is amounting to something. Problem is Briggs doesn't really have any fans and Jennings is a little better known in the NYC area despite not having a marquee win on his record. HW is such a wasteland.
