We watched the fight last night and Klitschko was very methodical in his boxing. He seemed to have a goal and didn’t deviate for a second. Plus he has an arm reach that his opponent couldn’t get around. Nothing flashy about him, he just got the job done.
So, why isn’t he popular ? Is it because he’s a foreigner ?
Vitali Klistcho might be the FIRST World Heavyweight champion with a PH.D degree.
According to Wikipedia :
He graduated from the Pereyaslav-Khmelnitsky Pedagogical Institute (Ukraine) and was accepted into the postgraduate study program at Kiev University.
On 29 February 2000, he presented his doctoral thesis on “talent and sponsorship in sports” at the Kiev University of Physical Science and Sports, and his Ph.D. in Sports Science was conferred.
