I like the vibe coming from Wladimir Klitschko as he counts down to the most important fight of his career, on July 9, against Tyson Fury.
Are you too? This is another level of feisty from Wlad, and I am hoping it translates into the sort of output and aggression that he needs to show to get the better of Fury. Passivity in the first fight allowed the Traveller to set the tone. If that happens again then we will see a sad sequel, because if you recall, their first fight stunk. HBO will show this scrap, by the way.
