Shannon Briggs trolling Wladimir Klitschko on a paddleboard is still hilarious

Shannon Briggs played the role of ultimate troll in his famous paddleboard prank on Wladimir Klitschko in October 2014.
The former two-time heavyweight world champion took great delight in harassing his Ukrainian rival at every opportunity as he confronted him face-to-face on multiple occasions over the years.
But Briggs arguably pulled off his biggest prank by knocking Klitschko off his board in one of the funniest moments in boxing history. What makes it even better is that he decided to film the whole thing so fans can watch it for themselves.
In the clip, Briggs can be seen chasing Klitschko on a boat before he falls into the water after losing his balance on the board.
The video on Twitter, which was recently re-uploaded by ‘Boxing Kingdom’, has already been watched more than 94,000 times.
Now granted, Briggs may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but you can’t help but laugh at this hilarious prank.
Just listen to Klitschko’s reaction after he ends up in the water. Priceless.
Sorry, Wlad. We can’t help ourselves.

What did Briggs say about his famous prank on Klitschko?
Briggs, 51, has always been proud of his handiwork.
“I love the English because they can appreciate a nice, positive hooligan,” the American told World Boxing News in 2018.
“He lives in Hollywood, Florida and at the time I went to a little beach house, an apartment not too far away.
“This one day I got told by someone that he goes out there and paddle boards and I was like, ‘what d’ya mean, on a boat?’ And he said no, he stands on this thing for exercise, I didn’t really think much of it at the time. However – later on, he told me that he’d seen him again.
“So, I thought I’d go and mess with him and I wanted it recorded so I could put it on the internet. I went out there three weekends in a row, went out there and three times he wasn’t there. And then I went another day, I couldn’t believe it – he was there.
“All of sudden I saw someone out there and I could see him so there you go. I almost p***** my pants.”
