    This is probably old...

    But.. I'd like to know what became of Vitali Klitschko.

    What is he doing now and why he retired and was he really getting injuries after injuries?

    He retired because of constant injuries leading up to the Rahman fight.He just didn't have the body of a fighter.I know that he was into polictics for a while.But that didn't work out.Last time I seen him he was in Wlads corner for the Byrd fight.

      What happened to him?
      Why did he suddenly have so many injuries?

        I have no idea!Maybe he was always injury prone.But his last injury was only a few days before the scheduled Rahman fight.

            Lets not forget he was a kickboxer for many many years before he took up boxing, its a wonder he held in as long as he did. Kick boxers tend do have shorter careers.

              Right.. I forgot about that.
              How long was he in kickboxing and how good was he?

                All I remember was him having problems with his shoulder in the Byrd fight and then his eye in the Lewis fight.

                What other injuries did he have?

                  I read about what happened.
                  How he got injured, postponed, got injured again, postponed again then retired.

                  I always wondered if he really was injured that many times or if he didn't want to fight Rahman.
