Wladimir Klitschko stopped Tony Thompson in the sixth round in Bern, Switzerland, to retain his World Boxing Association, International Boxing Federation and World Boxing Organization heavyweight title belts. The 36-year-old Klitschko, 58-3 with 51 knockouts, floored Thompson with a big right hand near the end of the fifth round, and Thompson, a 40-year-old American, never recovered. Klitschko dropped Thompson again in the sixth, and the referee, Sam Williams, gave the challenger a standing count before stopping the fight.
