Wladimir Klitschko has called it quits.

After a long and storied boxing career, Wladimir Klitscko has decided to hang up his gloves. He had 69 fights in his professional career with 64 wins and 5 losses to his credit. In that span of time he had a stranglehold on the heavyweight division alongside his brother who was also an amazing technical boxer himself.

Wladimir Klitschko recently went to war against Anthony Joshua in a heavyweight clash that isn’t to be soon forgotten. Even after the age of forty, the Ukrainian native was still a handful to deal with and constantly frustrated opponents with his technical ability.
