wladimir76 By Allan Fox: Earlier today former WBO heavyweight champion Shannon Briggs (55-6-1, 48 KOs) interrupted IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (62-3, 52 KOs) while he was eating at a restaurant in Hollywood, Florida.
Briggs said “I told you champ, wherever you go I go. What you do I do, champ. Let’s fight, champ. What you do I do. What you eat I eat. This is my [expletive], yeah. I told you everything you do I do. Thanks, champ.”

Briggs sat down across from Wladimir and snatched his food and started eating from it. Wladimir then poured what appeared to be a glass of water over the head of Briggs. At that point Briggs knocked the glass out of Wladimir’s hand, causing it to shatter. Briggs also knocked all the food from the table lost his footing, causing him to slip to the floor.

Briggs said “You pour water on my head. You poor water on my head.”

Briggs was then grabbed by a burly man and pushed out of the restaurant. Briggs lost one of his shoes while being escorted out of the restaurant. According to Fightnews.com, Briggs suffered a cut hand and foot. He later had stitches for the cuts.

Wladimir appeared to suffer an injury to his right hand, as he was shaking it afterwards and inspecting it as if he might have been cut by the glass that Briggs knocked out of his hand. It’s unclear if Wladimir’s injury will cause his September 6th title defense against Kubrat Pulev to be delayed.

Lil glass in my foot. Nothing like the glass in #wladimirklithscko chinny chin chin. #😂😂😂 http://t.co/wK2Db0AgwQ

This is the second time in the past two weeks that Briggs has confronted Wladimir. He recently barged in on Wladimir while he was at a gym in South Florida and challenged him to a fight.

Briggs, 42, wants Wladimir to give him a shot at his title. But WLadimir has shown no interest in wanting to do that. Briggs is ranked #14 by the WBA, so if Wladimir were to fight him, it would be an optional title defense. It looks like Briggs doesn’t want to earn his way to the mandatory spot to fight Wladimir.

For Briggs to become Wladimir’s mandatory challenger, he’s going to need to keep winning and beat at least one good heavyweight in an title eliminator. It’s unclear if Briggs has enough left in the tank to beat a top 5 contender to become Wladimir’s mandatory challenger.

This kind of stuff is probably playing out well for Briggs in Germany where Wladimir fights. The German media have been following what Briggs has been doing closely. It’s likely that a fight between Wladimir and Briggs would be a huge spectacle over there.
