Tyson's tour with Vitali

On the Klitschko website. Sorry if this has already been posted., Mike Tyson’s visit to Ukraine has caused huge interest. After traveling to Odessa and Sevastopol, he arrived in Kiev, where Vitali met him and showed Mike around his beautiful hometown. Vitali took him on a sightseeing tour of the city, showing him and telling him the history of Ukrainian capital. To find out all the info about Mike’s stay in Kiev, we got in touch with Vitali before he and Mike flew to Moscow. Q - Vitali, Mike’s visit has raised a lot of questions. Are there any talk going on about you two fighting? VK - No. Mike has announced his retirement and he has no desire to return to the ring. His visit to Kiev is part of his vacation. He toured Italy, Turkey and now arrived in Ukraine. Q - Vitali, walking with Mike in Kiev has probably brought back old memories of your summer job of 1988… VK - Yes, as a student I worked as a guide in a tourist bureau “Satellite” showing Kiev to other student from Soviet Union. And to this day I like to show Kiev to my friends since it’s the most beautiful city not only in Europe but also the world. Q - And what was Mike’s reaction to what he saw and learned? VK - He liked Kiev a lot. He told me that he saw many cities with parts but this is first time that he sees a park with a city in it. He was surprised that he never heard about it and regrets that just only now he was able to visit it. Q - Vitali, Mike Tyson is frequently presented my media as a monster. How does this image differ from the real Mike? VK - Mike during this visit was another Tyson than portrayed by media. There was no aggression. He asked many questions, was interested with history and our culture. He was surprised how warmly people met him. During our walk he noted that Ukraine has the kindest people he has ever met. Q - Vitali, do you regret that Mike has retired? VK - Mike Tyson was and remains one of the biggest names in sports. He has left a significant trace on the history of boxing. His fights drew unprecedented interest from all over the world. There is a chance and maybe we’ll talk about our future fight, but only after I carry out a fight with Hasim Rahman. For now I’m only concentrated on my fight in November. http://www.klitschko.com/images/photo_1083_00.jpghttp://www.klitschko.com/images/photo_1083_09.jpg http://www.klitschko.com/images/photo_1083_26.jpg
