Wladimir Klitschko has given a strong message to the people of Ukraine and Russia as his country remains at war with Russia. Here's what 'Dr Steelhammer' had to say when asked if he would fight if it came down to it:
"I am Ukrainian and I am a fighter. Our strongest force is the will and desire to live in a free country and we have chosen the direction we will wanna go. We are a European country and we wanna make sure that our values are going to be implemented rightly into our society. And no one else is gonna decide for us, how we should live."
Take a look at the video:
Wladimir Klitschko has been joined by his brother Vitali Klitschko and fellow boxers Oleksandr Usyk and Vasyl Lomachenko in an effort to defend their motherland. Now that the fight has reached the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv, they could find themselves in the middle of the action.
Despite having a scheduled world title defense against Anthony Joshua, Usyk returned to Ukraine to fight for his country. Vasyl Lomachenko as well, was vying for a title shot against George Kambosos Jr. However, it is now on pause since 'The Matrix' has joined the fight.
