Wladimir Klitschko is the GOAT...

of professional athletes trolling fans on social media. Bravo, champ.

He left that up for a full nine hours, surprised it didn't break the internet before he casually tossed out the j/k.

 

Timing on this was so brilliant, most boxing fans were probably still in myopic hyperfocus either looking backward at yesterday's fight or ahead toward a Joshua vs. Wilder unification that he probably caught a bunch of people off-guard so that April Fool's didn't even cross their minds. Had it been a while since Joshua vs. Parker this probably never would have worked, even though a head-fake tweet seems very uncharacteristic for Wlad and not what you'd expect from him (then again, the same could be said of his use of "Y'all" and fire emojis, so those should've been giveaways even for those still distracted in the big fight weekend thrall...)

 

Wlad vs. Overeem is kind of a guilty pleasure dream fight of mine, actually.

 

I'm sad Joshua didn't take his bait, could've been epic. (or maybe he did and has already hastened to delete, but it would hae left a footprint, you would imagine )

 

This deserves more attention before it ceases to be relevant.

 

Little minx. Makes me want her more. And yes I'd fight him for her.

Or have Shannon Briggs do it for me, and then disappear with her in my hot air balloon during the struggle, while twirling my wispy mustachios betwixt my fingertips and cackling.

 

I did not see it until after he outed himself, not sure what my reaction would've been had I caught it before. I probably would have been snookered tbh.
