Wed Oct 14, 2009 8:15 am EDT Klitschko nearly comes to blows during local parliament By Steve Cofield And you thought Cris Arreola was in over his head against Vitali Klitschko. Klitschko, the WBC heavyweight champ, mauled Arreola in Los Angeles earlier this month to retain his title strap. He nearly did the same to some unsuspecting political co-horts during a local assembly session in Kiev, Ukraine. "If anyone resorts to force, then I'll resort to force too," the World Boxing Council heavyweight title holder threatened, as a scuffle broke out. Klitschko, 38, was angered by the session's inability to approve a land redistribution. Klitschko and his allies tried to bring a halt to the proceedings. "I didn't hit anyone, I just tried to push a few people away," he told television channel 1+1 afterwards. He added that a real fight, "could have led to certain lawmakers being admitted to hospital." Klitschko, who has a doctorate in Sports Science, has twice run unsuccessfully for Mayor of Kiev. Klitschko and his brother, Wladimir have always been active on the Ukranian political scene. Back in 2004, Wladimir, the WBO and IBF heavyweight champ, led a protest 10,000 strong in Kiev. ![]() |
