Former WBO heavyweight champion, Shannon “The Cannon” Briggs is seeking a shot at Wladimir Klitschko, as he stated, “I’ve been calling out Klitschko for years and got no love.” Briggs, who was diagnosed with walking phenomena prior to his title defense against Sultan Ibragimov, mentioned, “No matter what his people are trying say, I was not 100% going into that fight. Give me the opportunity to fight at full strength, and we’ll see what happens. If Klitschko is so great, he should have no problem taking a fight with me.” Wladimir, who stands at the top of the heavyweight division, recently retained his IBF strap by dominating Lemon Brewster in Cologne, Germany.
