Boxing - At 41, Klitschko belatedly finds acclaim in defeat - Boxing


LONDON (Reuters) - It never happened in the decade when the prosaic nature of his heavyweight domination quite underwhelmed boxing but, at the age of 41, Wladimir Klitschko belatedly earned proper appreciation for his greatness on Saturday. As the Wembley crowd cheered him afterwards, though, Klitschko started to appreciate that the historic contest had elevated the reputations of all involved. "I think Joshua and I both did great, I think we did a lot for the sport in the way we performed and how we respected and treated each other," he said. "It was a great night for boxing and the fans. "I'll take my time over deciding what happens next," said Klitschko, whose record now stands at 64-5.
