Wladimir Klitschko one of the most beautiful and consummate fighter the World had seen and most dynamic boxer of his era compiled amazing boxing career record of 69 fights won 64, Kos 53 and losses 5, marking Six years anniversary of his retirement from active boxing.
I have been a fan of the Klitschko brothers, Since I watched Vitaly destroy his competition at the WAKO Kickboxing championships in the 90s. He was a devastating Striker with both his hands and feet. Later he a nd his brother went into professional Boxing because there was more money in it. The two brothers never fought each other officially and promised their mother they never would. At One time they held all the heavyweight championship belts. Pretty impressive family!
