    Wikipedia says Wladimir Klitschko broke Tommy Burns long held record of eight consecutive title defences by knockout.
    Is this info corect ???

    A glance at his boxrec would show that this is false.

    Volo actually did break Burns' record for most IBF and WBO title defenses. Burns had zero, shockingly.

    a bit off topic but damn that must have been some venue:

    1912-08-08 185 Bill Rickard 205 0-2-0
    Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada W TKO 6 15
    vacant Canada heavyweight title
    Sheriff stopped fight after Rickard floored twice.
