And now at 46 he is fighting the biggest fight of his life. Stay safe Champ, the world needs great and courageous men like you. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
Wladimir is a great champion in and out of the ring
Only respect for this guy
One of the greatest heavyweights of all time. Too bad ppl consider him a bum just because he didn't have competition. Like seriously you gonna hate a guy because he was too dominant to get beaten? Smh.
Roger Federer isn't considered a bum but also gets some of the same criticism. Its the dumbest shit I've ever heard
@@slamandjam2 clearly u haven't met some of the stupid casual fans.
I’ve never heard anyone, casuals or experts, refer to any of the Klitchsko brothers as bums.
Great Great Champion, I have nothing but respect and praise for this man,But every1 has Flaws and so did he,But that was Obsession to be at the Top,U cant be a Nice guy and Be a King at the Top,Ive followed him for the best part of 14 years now, I was only Disappointed with the way he treated Fury,Just everything with that fight, and that he didnt give Fury his credit.That From a Fighter U look upto.
He Gave Joshua credit, He pulled out the first time before Fury, Kept making excuses after he lost to Fury, Initially put in extra sponge so the ring would feel like fighting on sand, wearing pumps at the weigh in, Being juiced out of his mind, Wlad was no Goody 2 shoes, If U followed his whole career he refused random Blood tests multiple times. At that time it all went because I was a massive fan of his but looking back, He was far from perfect, He still hates on Fury, I understand with the Pullout thats completely Fury's fault and no excuses for that but he should have given Fury credit when he schooled him and beat him fair and square.
this guy is so smart boxing misses him i wish he was younger in this havywheight era to school joshua wilder and fury
dorian vvv Mate fury school him and Joshua
KO him spark out I don’t know what you talking about
we have alexander usyk for that ;) hes coming up fast
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha school Fury. That's good.
@@hitman93able Usyk ain't gonna be big enough. You watch.
Wladimir was always overrated. He couldn't beat either of those 3 guys at any point in time.
This guy is a LEGEND, he's in a class of his own. Big big big respect to this man, will always will be a fan!!!!!!
Smart, well-spoken, respectfull, almost philosophical about self-improvement and last but not least : A legendary boxer!
So lovely guy here. Humble, articulate, respectful and honest about himself and people, not a character like wilder
horseshit
Funny, Wilder took DNA test & realised his ancentors are from Nigeria & Benin-Togo
AQÄ
Get the fuck out of here leave Wilder alone if he had fought Wilder he was going to get hurt badly . No body will knock out Wilder now
John freeman come again ?
A true respectful champ
you One of the Greatest Heavyweight in the history thank you wlad
If Wlad was an american or british, then peoples would say "best HW ever" lol
markpac I’m British and I my self and a lot of people here say he’s one of the best ever
Vitali
What?! You’re kidding me right!
Truth😒
I’m British, I have nothing but respect for both Klitschko brothers. Legends.
Don't care what peeps say about em, but Vitali and Wladmir were amazing!
Well Vitali was. Wladimir clinched too much.
People are so incredible dumb. When he was fighting, everyone was saying he is a snooze fest. Now he is retired he is a legend and was great. He was a fkin boring minimal skilled fighter, bottom line!
He couldn't compete with today heavyweights, nevertheless the great guys from the past!
Wow love this guy ! just an amazing likeable person ...
Best HW of his generation and what a fight he had with AJ and what heart & guts he showed. A legend.
Wladimir Klitschko went down hill the day he lost his coach Emanuel Stewart that truly broke Wladimir.
That and his increasing age no doubt, also the lack of competition probably wavered his love for the sport as he rarely was challenged when in his prime.
Dont forget About Fritz Sdunek
This man is the greatest heavyweight since Muhammad Ali.
One of the greatest
@Chris Warren Not a fucking chance.
@Chris Warren lol
Vlad in his prime would’ve walked through Joshua.
some said he was in the best when fighting josh
Klitsko was the weakest HW Champion the division had.
Should’ve taken the rematch, his loss was down to a massive error of judgement, or rather his brother, who advised him to step off the gas and play it safe because he thought Joshua was finished already. The single best punch of the entire fight was the one thrown by Klitschko . I think when Vitali was squaring up to AJ in the ring after the fight, it was because he was angry with himself. I read tonight the first real rumours that Klitschko might consider a return if the fight is of “historical importance” (meaning if he could regain a title and beat Foreman’s record.) That is significant because it coincides with his recent split from his missus, who I think was instrumental in his decision not to take the rematch. Nothing stopping him now and he’s still in great shape as always, he could easily get back to his fighting shape within 3 months. There is a lot of hot air around his age, people seem to forget that his last fight was possibly his best, and there was nothing wrong with his speed and reactions, certainly nothing wrong with his powers of recovery after the knockdown when he went on to drop AJ in the same round. Speed, reactions and recovery are the things that go first when age catches up, therefore age hasn’t caught up with him yet.
@@moontestsunny790 not at all he was passed his prime when he lost to to furyy
oscar vasquez I what sense was he past his prime? We’re his reflexes slow? Was his hand speed slow? Was his stamina gone? Was he less able to recover from a knock down? Could you pls be more specific, or is it just an assumption because of his age?
Such a smart and good looking man I hope he come back and become champion again
nah age is the reason he cant come back. you cant perform, recover or endure as much as when you are longer. its dangerous fighting in 40's he should stay in retirement. cause fighting joshua proved that he was old and he got hurt badly. if he was younger he would beat joshua and yeah i said it.
@@jarecvu7333 agreed Joshua fans need to shut the fuck up.
@@syed5126 AJ has gloss chin he only fight with 41,39 38 years old boxers when he face wilder or Fury u Will see the difference.....George Forman become world champion at 55 is age is just number
Shout out To Klitchko for being above the loss with a winning spirit
Great fighter. Just one of the greats in modern boxing history. 12 years as the heavyweight champ is nothing to sneeze at. I hope he'll get into training people or commentary as a boxing announcer or some such. His wipe future is on front of him and he can do what he wants. I could see him in action movies.
A great champion and a class-act, a credit to the sport, just like his brother.
It’s more than obvious that Klitshko’s heart wasn’t in the fury fight, he had no burning passion, boxed his age and had a silent corner - I won’t take anything away from Fury, though obvious the Klitschko he fought wasn’t klitschko at his best (far from it) he would have still been hard for any heavyweight and Fury won - although still not at his best the new found determination fuelled him on to achieve what he did in the Joshua fight despite not being in his prime. Nothing but respect for the man.
This is why I love klitschko
This video was so satisfying ...he talks so well!
horseshaits
Both brothers paly chess and his older brother Vitali has a PHD. Both speak several languages . Unheard off in the world of boxing . They can speak in russian, ukrainian , english german of course for thats where they were based . Hamburg actually . Never has there been a pair like that and we wont ever see a pair like that again as in brothers united and ruling together in the same weight class clearing out the entire division between each other . Pure class . Always polite , considered , sharp and respectful in interviews , no trash talk like lippy Hay or flamboyant Fury . He and his brother really were a throw back to the old days when trash talk and hurling insults did not exist . Thats why i liked them both and respected them so much . I simply hate it when at a weigh in they pour manure over each other and act like utter thugs which of course most fighters are for they come from deprived back rounds and slums BUT the Klitsckos were very different . Brought up around iron dicipline in the soviet era and their father an army bloke . No street thuggery or gangs in the soviet union back then unlike in the west . It served them very well .
Great interview.... amazing insights
Wladimir you are the man. Haven't watched a fight since you retired.
Much respect for this man!
You will always be a winner,Love your humbleness.
Come back for ONE more fight Vlad!!!!!!!!!! Fans are missing you terribly!
This guy is all class. Cheers from USA Denver
though he lost that game he still won the respect thou. Such a composed guy. Respect
love the line 3:10 ' its not politics , its sport' .... respect Champ
your legacy is awsome you dominated for a over a decade your true champ vlad much love from wales uk 👊
Much respect to Wlad his English got so much better because he acually tried to speak it. And it just shows how much he cared about reaching out to his fans. Because I know there are many athlete's who who just choose not to even try. Much respect I know it's not easy but just proves how much they love their fans
Examining the body!
Let's go champ
Good man Vlad! Respect from Ireland! 🇮🇪
Inspiring to everybody
Vladimir you are the extra quality, high level, one of the biggest HW Champion forever...Ali, Larry, Bowe, you and your brother...ect.!
To finish a career from boxing that long and not be messed up, is awesome. He definitely took care of himself. As an athlete, he does care where he stands and I know that for a fact. But something might have been lost in translation. He was one of the greats and there is NO telling where his brother would have finished if he would've kept on. I remember watching the Olympics and seeing them. Glad to see them get to the top and stay for awhile.
Wlad you are LEGEND!!! With great respect from your Motherland Ukraine!
Wlad is a first class act. In times of popular culture, where it's all about profiling, selling and all that crap, Wlad puts in honest perspective. Listen to his approach on legacy, life is much more than just boxing. Favourite moment: "Christine, this is Sports! Not politics!" - Great Champion.
What a fantastic career. Honestly, he could have easily won his last fight just as he lost. And he has been doing this for almost all of his life. To hear him speaking so hopeful of his future, well, it's incredible and inspiring. Thank you champ for all the years of entertainment. You in the ring was always exciting and a pleasure. Good luck enjoying an easier life, you deserve it.
The best boxer of all time. Great personality in and out of the ring.
Respect 🤟💯
Wladimir was not in his prime but a great fight with Joshua. Win or lose was not a primary concern but respectful one another in the sports of boxing 😂😂👍👍
Class man
Cristine its not politics its sports....Wladimir is a true inspiration.
What an awesome champion!
A true, Gentleman...You are love Wlad
wlander the class klitschko ,what guy outside the rink, pure genius as a person,,,,,,
The interviewer was charmed really
Love that ego. That's how you get far in life. Everything is about you and you control all things that happen to you
Let's go champ!
A great champion...
A proper gentleman fighter.
klitschko is one of the best in history of boxing
Really i like him very kind man
Wladmir klitschko best of the best icon legend great great boxer...down to earth nicest guy on planet...what a awesome guy ....
Love him
Very respect man,, (sorry bad eng)
Great boxer with brilliant words.
So humble and real myy niggaa!!
One more thing just really quick, look how well he speaks and English is not his first language, just saying that many boxers are not so quick witted after a lifetime of boxing. you could tell a teenager today that he was an actor and everyone of them, that didn't follow boxing would believe you. Just an amazing human being. He was the best, but all athletes will age, then the next generation will step into their shoes. If Klitschko was only 10 years younger, I don't think he would have lost this fight. He looked amazing before, during and after. I don't recall him every being loud calling people out, he didn't have too. He was the best and everyone wants to fight the best at least once. Tyson Fury fell to pieces after winning his fight with Klitschko. He stated after that win, he felt there was nothing else to do. That is a hell of a compliment for a fighter. I like Fury and I am so glad he is fighting his way back but this is what he said about beating this man.
His brother Vitali is a true champion with a heart of a 🦁.
Great guy. One of the best fights I’ve ever watched. Slug fest
In his prime he would have beat Joshua easy
I can tell your high.
@@kanyesigemuhumza9295 its true
The Guy would’ve beaten every heavyweight of today its a shame that the HW division started to get good again one he was old
@@kanyesigemuhumza9295 I can tell you don't like the truth, and you don't know much about this sport.
IF IF IF IF IF.. Take your IF and shove it up your ass
BOOOOOOOM SQUAD BABY!
He didn't "pass the torch" to AJ, the torch was ripped out of his hands by Tyson Fury in his own back garden. It kills him. It hurts to even think about him 😂😂😂
Yeah, "passing the torch" @2:35, what a fucking lie. Fury is the lineal champ since then! The Clit got licked 11.28.2015, what a sore loser!.. Lost my respect here for the former champ!
Lmao yea he absolutely ripped it out of his hands by barely even touching him for the first half of the fight and then outpointed him in one of the most boring fights Ive ever seen even for Wlad standards, it truly was a massacre..
@HM Fitness Because they made it an actual fight, unlike Fury
how can you pass the torch to a guy who didn't want to rematch and fall into a mental vortex. it will sound really unappropriate to say that. for people saying fury fucked his mind up loooool. it's safe to say it was completely opposite and this are facts. tyson fury talks about his depression even today while for klitscko his haters do the talking. he didn't behave diferrent than any other loss of his career. c'mon man im actually rooting for fury to shut that wilder up but some comments here are ridiculous
He didn't pass the touch to Juicing J because he already lost the touch to Tyson Fury. Wlad was a hall of fame champion but he was defeated fair and square by Tyson Fury. There is a legal principle called Nemo dat quod non habet, literally meaning "no one gives what they don't have". Wlad and AJ fans are both delusional. The Lineal champion is Tyson Fury!
🤣🤣🤣
I'm from Ireland, a hardcore boxing fan I followed Wladimir all through his career I think in his prime no one comes close to him of today's poor Heavyweight's ,,sure when wilder came to spare with him in Germany wilder got K,O,D Twice and that's wearing 16 Oz gloves, 💯fact, plus head gear ,at the moment its the Eastern Europeans that are maybe the best around,Lomachenko, Usky they will all do great and of course Kazakhstan Tripple G, aka GGG he beat CANELO Twice an for some reason the judges got a bit greedy with an offer from cross dresser de la Hoya, wereing his wife's thongs an Millie is cool with it , plus he's still on the Cocaine,,, Wlad and Vatali are true gents until you get into that ring with them👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 DR STEELHAMMER 🔨🔨🔨. DR IRON FIST 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻. . .
Thanks for your words man.. from Ukraine with best regards and respect..
@@Nazar_I same to you pal,, and I hope u are well, thank you for your reply ✌️🇮🇪🇺🇦.
🇮🇪🇺🇦✌️
canelo defeated GGG in both fights with different styles
You must be Mclaughling mate ! HA HA HA
I just LOVE the slavic mentality. They are so greatfull and gentle, I don't know how ro explain. I have some russian friends, they are lovely. I've met them in 2015 and still keep in touch. If you have a slavic (ok, he isn't, but you got my point), be loyal.
I didn't know who he was but my dad is a big fan of boxing and we met him in Chessington with his daughter
After Mohammad Ali he is the only boxer whom can box and talk well.
The gypsy king !
This is what a champion is. Wlad, you are such an inspiration and I just adore you. You are a gentleman and an amazing Father. You have your priorities straight and I am so happy that you went out on your terms. Enjoy your life. You will forever shine bright in so many hearts.
Take note Mayweather, THIS is the real GOAT. You can flash your money and girls around but you wouldn't be fit to lace Wlad's boots. It isn't about money, it's about being a decent and kind person, and Klitschko is just the complete package.
i like this guy and Aj ..both gentlemen of boxing
The great and still the "greatest " a true champion 🇺🇸
What's the question she asked Wladimir at 3:45 ?
In prime he was one of the Best in history. Aj still writes his
Klitschko went down a hero. Wins and loses with complete grace
vitali klitschko vs Antony Joshua April 2019 you herd it here first.
Hes a very intelligent individual. Considering all the flights, "hence" punishment, he has his faculties.. 👍🙏👊
Great guy! Good fighter! I am a big AJ fan but I reckon that if he were younger it may have been a different result.
Classy boxer.
He’s a very cool dude
He's a real champ
seems like a nice person
Vladimir is a true gentleman and a wonderful human being.
He has a great mind
No sorry you’re wrong. That uppercut didn’t put Wlad on the floor and he needed a whole barrage of punches after it before the ref stopped it. W lads single shot sent AJ straight tothe canvas.
she is on fire
This man is a gentleman
Intelligent guy... true stoic warrior.
After the Joshua fight i respect Wlad so much more. Good fight night champ good fight night.
Vlad saw Joshuas uppercut IN THE VERY LAST MOMENT, Dillian didnt. Vlad is one hell of a fighter. I wish he would come back for a mano y mano with AJ.
i did boxing amaterus fro a long time for a hobby and one thing you learn with big fighters is that the brain was made so powerful that if you saw the power puch coming even a tenth of a second you wont get dropped but a power with less punch and didnt see it at all you could get knocked out cold..it's pretty interesting how the brain prepares for the fight too...
@@hende8445 Less is indeed more !
yh thats my point...
Christine...this is not politics for god sake.
You can feel that Wladimir want to get in a ring,
people commenting bad about Wlad because of his knocked out by AJ, but they didnt know how tough it is to get champ for decades and especially beating those many virgin/undefeated boxers. Respect to him
best boxer ever
Nobody commented about how hot this girls is 🙏
Zarfeqta 1234 damn this guy fucks
TebrexMusic Because she is average
cause she isnt that great
Because real grown ass man focus on the actual fucking topic and not just some random average cute woman you stupid little virgin internet boy!!!
Joy taylor yeah
He offered a rematch to Tyson fury which never happened. His the only guy in pro career to put Joshua on his back and still stood after getting hurt in the 11th. This guy doesn't dodge opponents, his a fighter. He is still one of the hardest hitters in the hw devison
