Klitschko Beats Ibragimov In A Less Then Thrilling Heavyweight Unification!

posted by Kathleen Holland on February 24, 2008, in Press Release

By Matt Yanofsky

In the first heavyweight unification since Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield in 1999, IBF king Wladimir Klitschko 50-3 (44 KO's) retained his belt while winning the WBO strap from previously unbeaten but untested Sultan Ibragimov 22-1-1 (17 KOs). After being outworked in an extremely uneventful first round by the smaller Ibragimov, Klitschko began using an effective jab working while using a parry like move to push Sultan's punches away.

Outside of a knockdown that referee Wayne Kelly missed in round 9 where a Klitschko right hand had Ibragimov held up only by the ropes, there was little action as Klitschko's jabs and occasional right hands continued to tell the story. Scores were 119-110, 118-110, and 117-111 for Klitschko who may be heading toward a fight with the winner of the March 8th WBC title fight between Sam Peter and Oleg Maskaev
