Here's world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko having his meal rudely interrupted, and eaten, by Shannon Briggs - who just happens to be looking for a title bout against the Ukrainian after having been thumped by Wladimir's brother Vitali in 2010. Dr Steelhammer kept admirably calm throughout the entire incident, and did well to do nothing more than douse Briggs with his glass of water, even if it did cause 'The Cannon' to go even more ballistic. The lack of any fireworks may be down to the fact that the whole nonsense was almost certainly staged, but it didn't stop Briggs from churning out the verbals on Twitter:
I got a piece of glass in my foot. Wladimir got a glass chin. We even. ???????????? #letsgochamp http://t.co/A9fMO51CmB

The confrontation in Hollywood wasn't even the first supposedly unexpected meeting between the two in recent days - here's Briggs just randomly showing up, fully kitted out, at Klitschko's training session. What the fuck has happened to boxing?
