Wladimir Klitschko's biggest fights

With over 20 years of boxing under his belt, it shouldn't come as a surprise that Klitschko has been the centre point of a number of boxing matches in the past decade. Amongst some of his biggest fights include bouts against David Haye and Bryant Jennings. His fight against David Haye proved particularly venomous, with David Haye taking verbal shots at Klitschko during the run-up to the match. One particular controversy involved an IOS app that Haye commissioned, whereby Haye decapitates Klitschko in a boxing match. While Haye's tactic of taunting the Ukrainian eventually fell flat, this echoed a lot with his expected fight with Tyson Fury. Wladimir spent much of his time training prior to his match with Tyson Fury, while Fury continued to taunt and belittle Klitschko's efforts, leading to Klitschko expressing his desire to "teach Fury a lesson" (much like Haye before him). This in turn was to become what many described as the "Fight of the Century" however after a number of postponings, Fury was declared "medically unfit" and stripped of his titles.
