Klitschko pays tribute to Smokin' Joe

“My brother Wladimir and I are very sad to hear that Joe Frazier has passed away. He was one of the greatest heavyweight champions of all times.

"I am very proud to have the same title that Joe once had. His three fights against Muhammad Ali are classics in sports history.

"Joe has done a lot for the sport of boxing – as a champion as well as through his social involvement. Our thoughts are with his family.”
