Vitali Klitschko Vs Shannon Briggs: The WBC Heavyweight Title Breakdown


By Geno McGahee This Saturday, Shannon Briggs will stand in a ring in Germany, across from the WBC Heavyweight Champion, Vitali Klitschko, 40-2, 38 KO’s.

A Klitschko Showdown: Shannon Briggs’ Last Chance


By Geno McGahee In the mid 1990s, there were several heavyweights on the way up.

The Cannon Fires At The Boxing World: Shannon Briggs Pulls No Punches With RSR


Interview by Geno McGahee There are very few heavyweights that are marketable. Most of the men in the division do not draw the fans, as evident by the very low PPV rentals of the WBC Heavyweight Championship bout between Hasim Rahman and Oleg Maskaev. The recent news of Mike Tyson putting on exhibitions in Las […]
