Vitali might not have an official position in Ukranian politics, but his political party as well as his personal notoriety can help shine light and bring attention to this issue. The other thing is getting situations like these noticed is the biggest thing. Its when the government abuses its power and it isnt spotlighted that its the scariest. Vitali calling off a fight that everyone in the Ukraine as well as everyone in the surrounding countries knew was about to happen, brings the situation to the attention of everyone in Eastern Europe. Its a lot harder for a government to be corrupt when there is transparency. I do worry about Vitali's safety though. Dude is pretty fearless.
Also, he's not just a face like Pacquiao. Vitali follows whats going on, he has opinions. He wouldnt show up to campaign for some guy he's never met and knows nothing about like Pacquiao.
I hope the fight with Adamek is still on, and I dont see a way that nothing happens on September 10th, I could see even an Adamek vs. Arreola rematch. Maybe Wlad will get back into training and theyll delay the fight 2 weeks or so. Maybe Vitali will get back into training in a couple days. One thing is for sure, if Vitali fights Adamek on September 10th, he wont, and the boxing community wont use this as an excuse for a less than stellar performance.

Let's hope Putin doesn't decide to poison Vitali or do something equally heinous.
