This has to be the most tempting way any boxer tried to get a fight from a champion in the history of boxing.
In 2014, heavyweight contender ShannonBriggs was on a mission to stalk Wladimir Klitschko in hopes to get a fight. His pursuit of Klitschko remained one of the most talked-about topics in the #boxing world.
Briggs started his campaign by entering the gym of Klitschko, threw a shoe at him, and announced “Shannon is back”. Briggs has provoked Klitchko many times by going to his press conferences, weigh-ins, and media days. One time he went to a restaurant where Klitchko was present and started eating his rival’s food. Other times he brought pies to Klitchko’s press conferences. He chased the heavyweight champion with “Everywhere you go I go” mantra. All these events boosted the demand for a fight between the pair.
Why do you think Wladimir never gave Briggs a chance despite the crazy promotion Briggs was able to pull off? Briggs was not able to fulfill his dream to become champion again but he was the undisputed troll while Wladimir did not look good on the receiving end of it.
