Boxing: Wladimir Klitschko defeats David Haye at Imtech Arena in Hamburg, Germany. Klitschko is now the WBA, IBO, IBF, WBO, and Ring Heavyweight Champion. The heavyweight division is still not fully unified as the WBC Championship is held by Vitali Klitschko, yes Wladimir's brother. So the only possible fight left in the heavyweight division that actually matters is between Wladimir and Vitali. What a fight that would be.
