Vitali Klitschko Halts Training Camp To Return To Ukraine Because of Political Crisis

I think it's refreshing that a professional athlete has a social conscience and realizes there is more to life than their respective sport.

[Jupiter Maximus]

Ridiculous statement. The Klitschkos are very well known in Europe. In Russia they are very well known, and Russia is a pretty big place, you know. In Germany they are household names. World-wide, they are doing very well.

Most Americans don't know who they are, because Americans as a group are very ignorant and also xenophobic. Most Americans don't know Roger Federer from Rafael Nadal, either, but both are famous world-wide.

Then again, more people would rather read comic books than Shakespeare, but that doesn't mean comic books are a superior literary form.

Hey don't lump "americans" all together *******! I've been following the K bros since day one and any one who follows tennis knows who Nadal and Federer are. Don't be a bigot to prove your point with an ignorant fool!

can't knock vit for this. this is more important than a fight.

Vitali is the man.
He fought already against corruption and for the democracy in his country.
A man acting for change!

So using your logic, not even Europeans give a sht about Europe? Because I'm pretty sure that Europe has like 10% of world's total population.

There is no logic. It's just a trolling statement to rile people up.

[nomadman]

I've got to say, if this fight is cancelled it would suck massively, but like others have pointed out in this thread, there are more important things than boxing, and I respect Vitali's priorities to his countrymen.
