By Scott Gilfoid: Heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn sounded bummed out on Thursday in talking about Wladimir Klitschko’s decision to retire from boxing instead of continuing on for one last fight against Joshua. Having to fight Pulev instead of Klitschko is a huge buzz-kill for the 27-year-old Joshua.

Fury didn’t just break the heavyweight stranglehold of Wladimir Klitschko but he blew the division wide open. That result ended a dominant reign of not only Wladimir but also his brother Vitaly and even Lennox Lewis previously.
