WBC/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko appears to have a good sense of humor. The Daily Star reports that Klitschko confronted comedian Sacha Baron Cohen at a Los Angeles restaurant, voicing his displeasure with Cohen's television/movie alter-ego Borat, who is spoof character from the country of Kazakhstan.

As Cohen walked past Klitschko's table, the fighter turn to the waiter and said "watch, I am going to have some fun with him." At that moment, Klitschko turned to Cohen and let him have it. Cohen tried to verbally defend himself, until the 6'6 Klitschko stood up from his seat with an angry look on his face.

“As he walked past me I turned to face him and said, ‘Hey, I think you are an asshole for what you said about Kazakhstan. Unbelievably, he started to defend himself – but before he could continue I stood up and was towering over him," Klitschko said. “I said, ‘I have broken people’s necks for less than what you have done’.

"He looked frightened – like he had picked a fight with the wrong man. And then I owned up and told him I really think his Borat character is amazing. He looked pretty relieved!”
