Wladimir Klitschko, Hayden Panettiere & Anthony Joshua: 'Nashville', Pregnant & Engaged: Will British Boxing Prospect Become World Heavyweight Champion's Replacement?

Wladimir Klitschko is obviously a man than that gets what he wants. The world heavyweight boxing champion has dominated his sport, he's set to marry his dream partner Hayden Panettiere, known for her role on Nashville, and he's due to become a father, with the engaged duo pregnant, expecting a baby in the near future. However, when he calls time on his career, what does he want for the future of his beloved sport? It seems like he'd like nothing more than to see top British heavyweight prospect Anthony Joshua take his place, and he might just get his way as he helps to ready him for after his retirement.

Klitschko has been an almost unbeatable fighter, but recently he has suggested the end could come at "any time", and it's evident with Hayden and a baby to think of, his attention will focus fully on to the family life. However, he may still be having an impact at the top of the boxing rankings after all. British fighter Joshua has stormed his way through every opponent, and he has widely been tipped as a future world champion. Wlad evidently agrees, after sparring with him, he had very kind words for him.

It seems like he's trying to nurture the talent, readying him to take his place as the world champion in the near future. Although the boxing world may be able to live without him Hayden certainly can't. She explained in a recent interview that she can't live without him, stating, "It means a lot when you experience life with someone, then you experience life without him and decide that you don't want to live without him. You date, you try to be with different people, you make mistakes, and you get to know yourself in the process,"

She added: "And in the end you want to be with someone who makes you the best version of yourself."

It well and truly seems like Wlad is preparing to leave his mark on boxing in more ways than we expected, and from then on it's all about him, his baby, and his beautiful wife-to-be.
