Boxing legend Evander Holyfield, who is the former absolute world champion in heavy and heavyweight weight classes, criticized Ukrainian boxers Vladimir and Vitali Klitschko.

He believes that they have changed the essence of heavyweight.

"Heavyweight changed because of Klitschko. The judges had to judge hugs, not fights. You went into the ring for the sake of throwing punches, but you had to work in a clinch. When I fought Mike Tyson, I knew that we would have a blow to the strike.

When I threw away my hand, I knew that besides this, I needed to get away from the option to get in return.

I do not understand how those who use tactics to knit their opponents can win fights, they win without throwing punches, the boxer must show his abilities more actively. This weight lost interest because it did not have so much activity, but now things are changing to the opposite, "Holyfield said in an interview with BoxingScene.

Recall that Wladimir Klitschko in early August 2017 announced the end of his career.
