Heavyweight champ Wladimir Klitschko is five weeks away from defending his belt against Kubrat Pulev in Hamburg, Germany. But, before he gets to the September 6 bout, it looks like he's going to have to deal with an onslaught of below-the-belt shots from 42-year-old retired boxer Shannon Briggs.

Briggs—for reasons that aren't completely clear—has trolled Klitschko all week long in the media and on Instagram, repeatedly challenging the Ukranian fighter to an impromptu match. And, as you can see from the video above, Briggs crashed one of Klitschko's training sessions earlier this week. The two fighters had to be separated by retired boxer Micheal Moorer. Whether he's honestly looking for a title shot or just wild'n for publicity, The Cannon still knows how to put on a show.
