The former coach of the Klitschko asked Vladimir to kill Joshua, but he didn’t listen
Johnathon banks, the former trainer of Wladimir Klitschko, explained why Ukrainians went to finish off Anthony Joshua after I sent the Briton down in the sixth round.
“I said, “Vladimir, you need to get over this guy. Enough of Boxing. Go get him, he’s still not recovered from the knockdown. You have to kill him!”.
I think he agreed, but he didn’t see what I saw. He saw that someone still can let go of their hands.
I understand that Vitali Klitschko told Vladimir not to hurry, but he spoke in Russian. I jumped! Security told me to sit down, but I screamed, “Finish him, finish him!”
I knew that the voice of Vitaly is more important than direct. I’ve tried my best to convince Vladimir. If he had at least 5 percent more energy, I would have finished the fight early. Joshua was one kick from being nokautiroval.
But we have to understand that Vitali is not a mistake. It’s his job to protect his younger brother. His emotions interfere with the work,” said banks.
We will remind, in the fifth round Vladimir himself had been knocked down, but the Brit went to kill Ukrainians and has lost too much energy. After that, he Joshua was on the canvas in the next round. Instead of trying to finish the fight early, he allowed Anthony to recover and was punished for it in the 11th round.
