[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Former heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko, the leader of the UDAR (Punch) political party in Ukraine, has been caught in the middle of a deadly riot, where 21 people have been killed as police and protesters continue to assault each other during an opposition rally in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev. Klitschko, one of the key figures in the protest, is standing side by side with 200,000 protesters who are expressing their frustration over the government's ditching of a pact with the EU under Russian pressure. Klitschko, who plans to run for president, has been part of the protests for the last few months.

Get the **** out of here. He's a legitimate political activist participating in a globally watched revolution. We are seriously watching history in the making and we should feel blessed that someone in our sport is playing such an integral part in making that history.

Moronic post really, understand what your thinking before writing/speaking buddy. Vitali is pushing for change for the right reasons.

Much respect for Vitali. Many fighters love to wave their flags and claim national pride but how many would step into the middle of clashes for their country and people and risks their lives to stand up for change?

"Political activism" is not encouraging violence. You do know what "politics" means? You're not that basic are you?
