I can see why people don’t even want to know about Vitali Klistchko.
He and his brother aren’t your average boxers. They’re actually CEREBRAL sportsmen, more into using their heads than their brawns.
Both Vitali and his brother are avid chess players. Vitali is a friend of former world chess champion Vladimir Kramnik and the two have played, with Kramnik always winning. Vitali has commented that “chess is similar to boxing. You need to develop a strategy, and you need to think two or three steps ahead about what your opponent is doing. You have to be smart. But what’s the difference between chess and boxing? In chess, nobody is an expert, but everybody plays. In boxing everybody is an expert, but nobody fights.”
People watch boxing to see a brawl, not to see something akin to chess. THAT’s THEIR PROBLEM. They don’t have the animal instinct of say, Mike Tyson or the flashiness of Muhammad Ali.
Vitali and his brother also have been involved in charitable activities dedicated to support the needs of schools, churches and children. In 2002, the Klitschko brothers announced that they had agreed to work specifically for the UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) which supports more than 180 projects in 87 countries.
Boxing is supposed to be a business for toughies. These brothers don’t look and act like toughies off the ring.
