Wladimir Klitschko took another step Saturday night to unifying the Heavyweight Boredom Title. Klitschko defeated Sultan Ibragimov for the dull WBO belt in 12 rounds that had partisan Russians grumbling and jeering in a Madison Square Garden venue which is not used to seeing incompetent sporting events.
Klitschko, who was defending his sleep-inducing IBF title and also holds the somnabulant IBO title, said he was "happy to get the WBO belt back" before taking a post-bout nap.
Next up for the heavyweight champ: to continue pursuing his dream by capturing the WBA, WBC and REM titles.
