Former WBO heavyweight champion Shannon Briggs (51-6-1, 45 KO’s) is reportedly about to resume his boxing career after sitting idle since his lopsided 12 round unanimous decision to WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko last October.

It’s hard to say how the fight would have gone had Briggs not been injured. Going into that fight Briggs had scored three consecutive 1st round knockouts against 2nd tier opposition.
