Heavyweight warriors: Boxing legends Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko 'ready to fight' Russia
Vitali Klitschko, a former heavyweight boxing champion, said that he would join his brother and fellow boxing legend Wladimir Klitschko in fighting for Ukraine, their homeland, against invading Russia. So far, dozens of people have been killed in attacks by Russia against Ukrainian military targets in the cities of Kharkiv, Kyiv, and Odessa.
Vitali Klitschko, who has been the mayor of Ukraine's capital Kyiv since 2014, claimed that he was ready to fight in a "bloody war". On Friday, the former World Boxing Organization, World Boxing Council, and Ring Magazine world heavyweight champion told ITV's Good Morning Britain, "I don't have another choice, I have to do that. I'll be fighting. I believe in Ukraine, I believe in my country and I believe in my people."
