Klitschko Brothers Ringside Interview

This is a new interview video with the Klitschko brothers and heavyweight boxing champions Wladimir and Vitali on Ringside after Wladimir defeated David Haye to claiim the 4th and final belt for the Klitschko family.  Enjoy!

Klitschko's Father Passes

Today was a sad day in boxing and for the Klitschko family as Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko's father Vladimir Rodionovich Klitschko sadly passed away at age 64 from a long and unsuccessful battle with illness. Vladimir Klitschko Sr. was a Colonel in the Soviet Air Force and he was one of the people tasked with the clean-up of the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl in Ukraine.  In the recent movie and documentary of the Klitschko brothers, Klitschko Sr. said most of his friends who worked on the Chernobyl accident clean-up were now dead. They were sent in with no protective gear, a suicide mission, basically.  Klitschko Sr. became sick for this reason.


Klitschko Sr's upbringing and success of his sons can be summed up by what he told Vitali when he was a child.  “There is one rule. When you fight, you must fight to win.”  Vladimir Rodionovich Klitschko got to see his youngest child fight and win the last major title in the heavyweight division and his sons fulfill their dream of holding all the belts simultaneously between themselves in the heavyweight division before he passed.  And with this I'm sure he was proud of his sons.  May he rest in peace.

David Haye On His Loss To Wladimir Klitschko

Former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye recently talked about his loss to WBA/WBO/IBF/IBO/RING heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko and his future plans including a desire for a rematch with Wladimir.

Haye Partially Blames Toe On Klitschko Performance

In the post fight David Haye did shake Wladimir Klitschko's hand and admitted that Wladimir Klitschko put on a superior performance but said that a broken little toe also was a factor and a big reason why he couldn't spring into his shots to test Wlad's chin. So with the toe excuse now in place I think it would be appropriate to have some pun with this.

Haye was TOEtally outclassed in his fight with Wladimir.

In the theme of Bonnie Tyler, Haye had a TOEtal Eclipse Of The Heart Saturday night.

Considering how good of an actor he was at times from enticing the ref to deduct a point from Wladimr for leaning on him to flopping on the ground, Haye might have lost the fight but deserves a TOEny award for his other performance in the ring.

But seriously will there be a medical report on this or will it be a no show like the June 2009 back injury claim?  TOE be or not TOE be-- that is the question...

More to come! Got any?
