Klitschko and Ibragimov: The time is right to unify the HEAVYWEIGHT WORLD TITLE
NEW YORK, February 12 – For several years, fight fans have longed for the day when the heavyweight championship of the world would be unified and one man would reign atop the! sport's glamour division. On Saturday, February 23 rd, at 'The Mecca of Boxing', New York City's Madison Square Garden, that day will be one step closer when IBF & IBO Heavyweight Champion Wladimir Klitschko and WBO Heavyweight Champion Sultan Ibragimov meet to unify their titles in a bout destined to bring clarity to the heavyweights once again.
Klitschko and Ibragimov, a 12 round heavyweight title unification bout, headlines a historic night of boxing presented by K2 Promotions and Seminole Warriors Boxing and will be televised live on HBO World Championship Boxing.
The 1996 Olympic Gold medalist Wladimir Klitschko (49-3, 44 KOs) is one of the most talented heavyweights of this era, and his dominance has led him to 2 heavyweight world titles. After holding the WBO title from 2000 to 2003, the 31-year old Klitschko also won the IBF title from Chris Byrd in 2006 and has made 3 title defenses with KO victories over Calvin Brock, Ray Austin, and Lamon Brewster.
Unbeaten in his five years as a professional, 2000 Olympic Silver medalist Sultan Ibragimov (22-0-1, 17 KOs) has impressed boxing aficionados with his fast hands, combination punching, and willingness to take on all comers. The 32-year old Ibragimov, a native of Dagestan, Russia, won the WBO Heavyweight Championship in June of 2007 with a dominant 12 round win over Shannon Briggs, and he has since defended his title with another clear cut victory in October over heavyweight legend Evander Holyfield.
For Klitschko and Ibragimov, the time is right to unify the HEAVYWEIGHT WORLD TITLE.
Klitschko vs Ibragimov, a 12 round heavyweight title unification bout, headlines a historic night of boxing presented by K2 Promotions and Seminole Warriors Boxing and will be televised live on HBO World Championship Boxing.
