Wladimir Klitschko

The couple have been engaged since last October, and announced last month that they were expecting their first child together.

Heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko's next defence is going to be against Kubrat Pulev, one of his mandatory challengers.

Nelson Mandela uttered that line in a speech in Monaco in 2000 and if one sport has proven the saying to be true, it’s boxing. Muhammad Ali used his fame as the heavyweight champion to call attention to various injustices in the United States in the 1960’s and 1970’s. Some 40 years later, Wladimir Klitschko is hoping to accomplish a similar feat in his native Ukraine.

The bout will be the Ukrainian fighter's 25th world championship fight and pits him against the six-foot Leapai, who defeated the previously unbeaten Denis Boytsov in November to become the WBO's mandatory challenger.

Heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko's fights are not always easy to watch. In fact, sometimes, like on Saturday, they are messy and frustrating. But the champ sure is effective, and his historic title reign continued.
