    Okay..... with the big fight coming up at the weekend, I'd like to take this opportunity to ask all Klitschko fans to confirm prior to the event whether or not in their opinion the dreadlocks and beard that Briggs has are in fact illegal.

    In my opinion, Briggs has a real chance at causing an upset here.... and given the Vitali brigade having previous for whining about such things after the event (for seven years :yikes) it's good to get these things out in the open at an early stage so there can be no excuses.

    Thanks in advance.

    What you think the beard will protect his chin?

    Perhaps Brigg's strategy is to infest his dreadlocks and beard with lice, transfer them to Vitali during the fight and then take advantage?



    I hope this is at least an entertaining fight as I will watch this since they're showing it live for free in Australia (4am start :)).

    I was thinking about this. Isn't Kimbo Slice moving to boxing? No way would any commission let him box with that giant beard!
