Why did both Klitschko have Dr. in their nickname?

[ELPacman]

I had to Wikipede them because my girl thought it was hot that boxers could also be smart enough to have a phd (lol).

So I look them both up and only see a reference that Vitali had the PHD. I don't see anything about Wladimir having one. So where does his Dr. Steelhammer moniker come from? Just a wannabie of all his older brother's success? lol

Someone from the Ukraine told me those phd's were bought. Who knows what's true.

Wladimir also has a PhD in Sports Science, just like Vitali.

More than likely, especially since their father was a ranking official in the military.

It’s a nickname. I don’t think the great Julius “Dr. J” Erving was holding a doctorate degree either.

The brothers actually do have Ph.D's though

Wlads nickname was actually updated to Dr. Steelhammer Jr because Fury is his daddy.

They are both excellent world heavyweight champions so they are both extremely successful.

Luckily for Fury he was in his 20s while Wlad was a month or two away from turning 40. Make Wlad Fury's age and Fury Wlad's age and Fury gets KOed.
