    Comments Thread For: W. Klitschko's Gold Medal Grabs $1 Million at Charity Event

    The Klitschko brothers held a charitable auction in Kiev, Ukraine. Wladimir Klitschko, the WBO/IBO/IBF/WBA heavyweight champion, auctioned off his 1996 Olympic gold medal, which a buyer bid $1 million dollars to win. However, immediately after the sale the buyer returned the medal to Wladimir as a token of respect, because he wants the medal to remain in the Klitschko family. Wladimir was moved by the buyer's unbelievable gesture.

          It was for a charity for Ukrainian Kids, him willing to part with it to raise money is still unbelievable and the buyer willing to give it back, wow. That's about as classy as you can get and Volodymyr just got outclassed lol Epic win.

                              Good stuff. Sometimes, the ignorance and ugliness of the forums makes me forget why I've always loved boxing. But this article brings it all back for me. Boxing, at it's best, is a classy sport.

                                  Man I was shocked at the title of the thread, a gold medal being sold, even for charity!

                                  But the guy gave it back too! Class act, even if he planned to give 1 mil anyway for another charity.

                                  What a story.

                                      Don't hate the players hate the game, these guys are champions both inside the ring and most importantly outside the ring.
