Klitschko: ´I have nothing to hide´

Wladimir Klitschko insisted he has nothing to hide after a public training session ahead of his bout against Alex Leapai on Saturday. The Ukrainian, 38, defends his WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight titles against Samoa-born Australian Leapai in Oberhausen, Germany. Klitschko said he was happy to train publicly and would invite opponents to come watch him in the future. "I completed a normal workout. I have nothing to hide," Klitschko said. "Ninety nine per cent of the opponents and their coaches believe that you should not put on a public training session to show your tactics, technique and strategy because you will later use it in the ring. I've said that in the past many times. "But, frankly, if you are not properly prepared for weeks and do not know what your opponent has as a technique and strategy, it's actually already all over and actually too late. Therefore, I have nothing to hide. "I am glad that Alex Leapai has looked at my training, he was able to do so like any other opponent. I will invite them in the future. "I have nothing to hide, you can look and see me and rehearse to fight me. From the outside it looks very different to how it is later in the middle of the ring." The public session came a day after former heavyweight champion Shannon Briggs interrupted Klitschko's press conference, demanding a title shot. Bookmark Our Page for Latest Sport News & Updates
