LONDON — Wladimir Klitschko’s eyes lit up as he looked around the massive atrium and saw hundreds of people lining the staircases and railings, craning their necks for a glimpse. The 41-year-old future boxing Hall of Famer was about to speak Thursday at a news conference in advance of his IBF heavyweight championship bout Saturday against British champ Anthony Joshua. It was clear he was thoroughly enjoying the moment.
“Good day, ladies and gentlemen,” Klitschko said with an engaging smile. “It’s an amazing crowd here. And I would love to have a very, very, very long speech.”
