Haha, Vitali Klitschko is still currently in better shape than most heavyweights

It's an Orthodox tradition - apparently Jesus was baptised on this day, and this is some celebration where you dive into icy water 'to cleanse your sins' and have good health for the year. Have a look through the earlier posts, there's some video. Yeah just looked at the video and this was the description they were cleansing their sins. its called Epiphany day they are part of the Orthodox Christian Church. Wladimir and Vitali getting cleansed in the river on Trukhaniv Island in #Ukraine #kiev #freezing ***127939;***127939;***127939;on Epiphany day which is an orthodox holiday.

What happened here did Vitali and Wlad get baptized or something? they are both wearing crosses.

Here's Vitali with Wlad today...2 and a half years after he last fought, still in better shape than most of the heavyweights out there - namely Stiverne and how he looked on the weekend. https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfa1/v/t1.0-9/10390461_906674452711037_6890629785711384263_n.jpg?oh=b966b57d5a0f26706045b8b9e172ee0f&oe=556E06A5&__gda__=1432870803_bcd27393bb9c4ceaf583b7d0c786d0da https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/10857866_906674289377720_8346977912152322635_n.jpg?oh=305e644c49201ccf6ecfc5aa7304865b&oe=55318E7F&__gda__=1428691655_3bc6e5e90b0444122849b28224a92722 https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/10924761_906674369377712_1216857634061390670_n.jpg?oh=a8a966d5db7c3d4bc2ba60d9bcbd0a25&oe=5531527C&__gda__=1432850628_4490d35d0c7c02e93d591772a7655f4a What happened here did Vitali and Wlad get baptized or something? they are both wearing crosses.

Ummmmm . . . Of course his physique is due to healthy living and eating right . . . He's admitted to taking steroids before. Many many former atheletes, celebrities of all types such as actors, take HGH, or even Steroids to keep their physique and fight off old age. Someone like Vitali who was on PEDs during his career, is very likely to keep using them.

You do realise that just diminishes wlad and vitalis accomplishments You are admitting they beat on out of shape fat guys Well, I've never claimed they beat super in-shape athletes. However, that's through no fault of their own and being in-shape is less important than skill level. Even so, just because Vitali is in better shape now (and it's pretty much close to Wlad's) than most heavyweights doesn't mean they aren't in shape at all, just not as good. That was literally the Hitler cut, short on the side and long and combed over to one side on top. I know there's a lot of neo-nazism in the region so I was curious. Maybe I'm wrong but I doubt it. Well, no, that isn't the haircut in any case, this haircut has been around for hundreds of years long before Hitler. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cossacks It's literally a shaved head with a small strip of hair on top - Usyk has the haircut now. Nothing to do with Nazism.

Lol how's that hairstyle a Hitler cut? As far as I remember Hitler just had some slicked to the side type thing...that haircut with the sides cut off and majority skinhead but small bit of hair on top is the traditional Cossack haircut, actually very few have it, but in this instance the brothers were doing this swim with some Cossacks.

He is champ emeritus..watch out Wilder!

Is this some type of gang bang? Why is there only one female?

oh damn ,well good luck to him then. btw why do so many guys in ukraine have that hitler haircut? Lol how's that hairstyle a Hitler cut?

He's mayor of Kiev, man. So he's pretty much tied up full-time at the moment :lol1: No doubt...not sure i'd favour any current fighter in the division v him even now (aside from Wlad), even after a lay-off. A fight v Fury or Wilder would have been fun. oh damn ,well good luck to him then. btw why do so many guys in ukraine have that hitler haircut?

Cheers. Vitali isn't coming back to the ring, he's a full time politician now. The Klitschko's are always in shape. Let Vlad unify all the belts!

What's up with Vitali's political career? I reckon he might as well come back and take the WBC belt back. He's mayor of Kiev, man. So he's pretty much tied up full-time at the moment :lol1: :lol1: Vitali is a badass. He could still probably beat the hell out of the majority of the division.

Nah. He's scared sh1tless of Vitali. This haha. briggs certainly didnt any of those stunts on vitali

half expected Briggs to be in the background on his speedboat :lol1: Vitali is a badass. He could still probably beat the hell out of the majority of the division.

Here's the video footage

BTW, for anyone interested, the reason why they are diving into icy water is because it's this 'celebration of epiphany' in Ukraine...they say if you dive into icy water today, you will have good health for the rest of the year.

Vitali is in surprisingly good shape, given his time away from the ring and new career. He really does put some of the current HWs (Stiverne, Ruiz, Solis et al) to shame Yeah. But he's always said he actually enjoys living a healthy life - he eats well, still works out, and never really ballooned out of training camps like other fighters do, and then end up fat every time they aren't constantly training. The brothers actually sometimes gain weight during camp, if I recall Manny Steward once saying. Just true athletes, and an example to kids out there that it pays off to live healthily and take care of your body.
