Vitali Klitschko, Erik Morales and Ronald Wright will be included in the Boxing Hall of Fame

The International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota, New York, announced the members of the Class of 2018. In the category of modern boxers, they are former world heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko, four-division world champion Erik “El Terrible” Morales and light middleweight champion Ronald “Winky” Wright. Non-participants and observers to be inducted include German promoter Klaus-Peter Kohl and broadcasters Steve Albert and Jim Gray.

The official inauguration ceremony as well as the "Parade of Champions" will be held from June 7 to 10 in Canastota.

“It’s a dream of many boxers to be a member of the Hall of Fame family. I’ve thought about the Hall of Fame but I never expected one day that I would be among the legends who were always examples for me such as Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson and so many world famous boxers. It’s a big honor for me,” said Vitali Klitschko.
