Klitschkos Hold a Joint Camp, The First Time in Many Years

By Ruslan Chikov

For the first time in many years, the Klitschko brothers have come together for a joint training camp in Austria. The two brother have scheduled defenses only two weeks apart in Germany.

WBO/IBO/WBA/IBF champion Wladimir Klitschko defends his titles on March 3rd against Jean Marc Mormeck (36-4, 22KOs) at ESPIRIT Arena in Dusseldorf. Two weeks earlier, on February 18th, Vitali Klitshko (43-2, 40KOs) defends the WBC title against Dereck Chisora (15-2, 9KOs) at Olympiahalle in Munich.

"This is a joint training camp, but our preparations are absolutely different. Everyone has their own plan and their own problems [in a fight]. Its really nice to see my brother during training. It feels like I'm back in my teenage years, when we trained together and gave each other advice. Vitali tells me things and I also give him advice, because now I have the experience. We see each other throughout the day. And see each other in training, and at the dinner table," Wladimir told championat.
