WLADIMIR KLITSCHKO (54-3, 48 KO’s), the -1400 boxing betting favorite, the younger brother to Vitali and to multitudinous the more watery boxer, had 134 wins in his amateur career, and this was capped with a gold medal at the 1996 Olympics, where he won the wonderful heavyweight title over Paea Wolfgramm. He turned pro in November 1996 with a firstround KO of Fabian Meza, and was brought long against the usual suspects, fighting in Germany, where he had signed – with a promoter. A stumbling block came owing him in December 1998, when he was stopped in the eleventh round by Ross Puritty, with the fight halted when his trainer jumped into the ring. Many boxing bettors accused him of quitting in that grapple. He started to rehabilitate himself with wins down Axel Schulz, Wolfgramm and Monte Barrett, then scored an easy 12-round decision over Chris Byrd, who had previously beaten his brother. That victory won him the WBO title.
