We've introduced you to Mihai Nistor, the last man to stop Anthony Joshua, now, here's Lamon Brewster, the last fighter to finish Wladimir Klitschko inside the distance.

The Ukrainian hadn't tasted defeat for 13-years before Fury dethroned him, though that stoppage loss came to Brewster back in 2004.

Klitschko was sporting a 42-2 record heading into his world title contest with the American slugger

A few bouts prior, Klitschko lost his WBO heavyweight strap. But reeled off back-to-back wins to get back into world title contention.

Yet he ultimately failed to recapture his world crown who came under a barrage of attack before succumbing to Brewster's pressure.

Klitschko had enlisted the tutelage of Emmanuel Steward though their partnership got off to the worse start possible following the stoppage loss.

But Klitschko then gained revenge as he defeated Brewster on July 7th 2007, in Cologne, Germany, retaining his world titles in the process.

Despite the tenuous start, the pair forged a budding relationship which included Klitschko reclaiming his world titles as well as racking up several defences.

Sadly, the great Steward passed away with his protege Jonathan Banks taking over as head coach.

Following an 18-month spell on the sidelines, as a result of a couple of fight postponements, Klitschko will, again, seek to recapture his world titles while heading into the twilight of his professional career.

Though standing in his way is Anthony Joshua, the IBF heavyweight holder, who owns a perfect record with 18 wins from 18 fights including 18 TKO/KO's.

The biggest fight on British soil, and one of the fights of the year, is just days away.
