Earlier in this week, regular Deadspin commenter/hardcore-boxing fan "Iron Mike Gallego" emailed with a plea for an open thread for today's heavyweight championship fight between Wladimir Klitschko and David Haye. Slow sports day. Quirky to have boxing on in the afternoon. Probably would have had one anyway. But his persistence afforded IMG the right to explain why this is a fight worth watching (HBO 4:45 p.m. eastern, replay five hours later): More »

Yup, that's Wladimir Klitschko and Hayden Panettiere protesting a Japanese fishing village's annual dolphin hunt. It could be effective, as it probably reminds the locals of this. [AP] More »

The man pictured here is Wladimir Klitschko. It is telling that you might know who he is; he's the IBF, WBO and IBO world heavyweight champion, which isn't nearly as cool as it was 15 years ago. But still: The job of the heavyweight champion of the world is to be the "scariest man on earth," and make headlines for it.

Tonight Wladimir Klitschko will square off against his best opponent to date in Sultan Ibragimov in a big first step toward unifying the heavyweight title. Vitali's little brother is widely considered to be the best heavyweight on the planet and a win tonight at Madison Square Garden would cement that theory. Just to make sure everybody knows, Wladimir has been doing his part to promote the biggest heavyweight fight since Lennox Lewis retired. The champ made a recent appearance on Conan O'Brien's show and, not surprisingly, the topic of erections was raised. The full video is after the jump with all of the fun tent pitching around the 7:30 mark. More »
