3. Wladimir Klitschko, April 29, 2017

“Looking at my career as it’s gone on, the reason I said number three is that it gave me a lot of valuable experience, when I hit people they normally stay down, but due to Wladimir Klitschko’s experience and his long reign of being champion, when I put him down in the fifth, he knew how to recover. 

“I thought he was done but he is one of the all time greats for a reason, he got back up in the sixth and put me down.

“That was a real learning curve. It gave me a lot of time to let me learn where to go away and improve.”
