Always thought that Vitali was the better Klit. Who did he lose to, Byrd due to a shoulder injury and LL because of his eye? And that's it! Not a bad career record.

Vitali Klitschko ready to enlist in Ukranian army
Vitali Klitschko, the former world heavyweight champion and the mayor of Kyiv, has said that he is ready to join Ukrainian soldiers in fighting against the Russian invasion of his country.
Klitschko, who posted a joint message on Twitter yesterday with brother Wladaimir, another former world heavyweight champion, also declared a state of emergency in the Ukrainian capital city.
Asked on Thursday if he was ready to join civilians and soldiers in fighting against the Russian military, Vitali, who is 50, said: "I don't have another choice. I have to do that," before adding: "I will be fighting. I believe in Ukraine. I believe in my country and I believe in my people."
His younger brother Wladimir, who is 45, enlisted in Ukraine's reserve army in Kyiv earlier this month, saying that love for his country compelled him to defend it. Ukraine has been braced for a military offensive over recent weeks after Russia assembled tens of thousands of troops near their borders.
