Dr. Vitali Vladimirovich Klitschko (Ukrainian: Віталій Володимирович Кличко, Vitaliy Volodymyrovych Klychko) born July 19, 1971). known as "Dr. Iron Fist", is a professional boxer since 1996. In 2005 he retired, but in January 2007 he announced his comeback. He was the WBC heavyweight boxing champion of the world in 2004 and 2005. He is 6' 7½" (202 cm) tall, and was born in Belovodsk, Kyrgyzstan, in the former Soviet Union. Vitaly has the highest knock out percentage (92%) of any heavywieght champion.Out of 35 wins, 34 of those came by the way of KO or TKO. His younger brother, Wladimir Klitschko, is the current IBF & IBO World Heavyweight champion. Their father was a Soviet Air Force Colonel, and their ethnicity is Ukrainian.
Biography
Originally a professional kickboxer, Vitali was also a boxer and won the Super Heavyweight Championship at the first World Military Games in Italy in 1995. In the same year he won a silver medal at the 1995 World Amateur Boxing Championships in Berlin, where he was beaten in the final by Russia's Alexei Lezin. He began his professional boxing career in 1996, winning his first 24 fights by either early knockout or technical-knockout (TKO). He and Wladimir were hot prospects, and had signed with the German athlete-promotion company Universum. After moving to Germany and Universum, their charismatic, refined (each holds a Ph. D.) and articulate (they are multilingual) personalities made for mainstream marketability; in time, they became national celebrities in their adopted home country. In his 25th pro fight, on June 26, 1999, Klitschko won the World Boxing Organization Heavyweight Championship from Herbie Hide (of the UK) via 2nd-round knockout. He defended the title twice before losing it on April 1, 2000 to American Chris Byrd; complaining of intense shoulder pain, Vitali and his corner decided not to continue the fight after the ninth round. Vitali was ahead on all 3 judges' scorecards (89-82, and 88-83 twice), but the way he ended this match brought international criticism, plus a reputation as a quitter. Some gave him the nickname "Quitschko" and others called him "Shitaly". He had surgery to repair the rotator cuff torn during the bout. In Byrd's next fight he was dethroned by Wladimir (knocking Byrd down in Rounds 9 and 11), avenging his elder brother.
Though saddled with this new reputation, Vitali continued to fight his way up the ladder of fringe contenders and journeymen, beating Orlin Norris, Ross Puritty, Vaughn Bean, and Larry Donald. On June 21, 2003, he fought Lennox Lewis for his WBC Heavyweight Championship in Los Angeles. For the first two rounds, Vitali was fighting very well against Lewis, winning the two rounds. In Round three, Lewis, who weighed in at a career high 18 stones and 4 pounds (256 lbs), landed a punch that left a gruesome cut over Klitschko's left eye. The next 2 rounds were give and take. In the middle of round six, Lewis landed a monster uppercut that had Vitali clinching and holding on to Lewis to prevent further punches. After round six, all 3 judges' scorecards read 58-56 in favor of Klitschko. Before round seven, the ringside doctor inspected the cut and thought it severe enough to threaten eye damage if hit again. He stopped the fight, despite Klitschko's pleas to continue the fight. Because the cuts around Vitali's eye a result of the punches from Lewis, and not an accidental headbutt, the rules stated that Lewis would win by a technical knockout. Though he had lost by TKO, Klitschko gained international respect for fighting on even terms with the consensus World Heavyweight Champion for the first 6 rounds. Afterward, it was revealed that Vitali had kept fighting despite sustaining an internal injury, as well. This redeemed him in most fans' eyes, and many no longer considered him a quitter. Lewis was 37 and retired after this bout.
On December 6, 2003, Vitali returned to the ring against Canadian Kirk Johnson in Madison Square Garden and knocked him out in round two, reclaiming his place as the WBC's number-one contender. Around this time, the Klitschkos moved from Berlin to L.A. The western U.S.'s premium training facilities were now nearby, and they could boost their profiles by mixing socially with boxing insiders. In January 2004, they notified Universum that they would not re-sign when their contracts expired in April. Universum sued the brothers, arguing that their recent injuries had triggered a clause binding them beyond April. The suit was resolved in late 2004.
Klitschko earned an 8th-round TKO victory over South African Corrie Sanders on April 24, 2004, to capture the World Boxing Council Heavyweight Championship which had been vacated by Lewis, in Los Angeles. Sanders had dominantly knocked-out (2nd Round) younger brother Wladimir on March 8, 2003. This fight was also for The Ring Magazine belt. Despite the bout with Vitali being for the "legitimate" World Title, few had seen Sanders as a legitimate contender for the crown before his bout with younger brother Wladimir (who had himself been the top contender). Sanders had not fought in over a year and looked in poor shape when facing the elder Klitschko. Klitschko was rocked early by the powerful Sanders, but by using movement and strong punching he broke down Sanders and forced the referee to stop the bout. In a sport flooded with under-educated competitors, the former Soviet became the first professional boxing world champion with a PhD (in sports medicine and philosophy).
Vitali Klitschko's first world title defense was against British contender Danny Williams. Williams had become suddenly marketable from a surprise K.O. of the declining "Iron" Mike Tyson. Klitschko TKO'd Williams in 8 rounds on December 11, 2004, while wearing an orange cloth to show support for the Ukrainian presidential opposition movement. Klitschko easily threw many punches during the fight, knocking Williams down in the 1st, 3rd, 7th, and 8th rounds before the fight was mercifully stopped. Immediately afterwards, Klitschko dedicated his victory to democracy in his native Ukraine, and also to the Ukrainian presidential candidate Viktor Yushchenko, whom he supported in the December 26, 2004, election revote.
The WBC designated former WBC & IBF world Heavyweight Champion Hasim Rahman as Klitschko’s next mandatory challenger; the fight was set for April 30, 2005. Klitschko injured his thigh while training for the fight, so it was rescheduled for June 18. As this date approached, Klitschko’s camp said that the thigh had not fully healed; the WBC made July 23 the new fight date. Soon after this second postponement, Vitali’s doctors reportedly discovered back injuries that they said demanded minor-yet-immediate corrective surgery. The WBC pushed the fight date back to November 12; Vitali's share of the purse following this match would reportedly be between $7.8 million and $10 million (U.S.). After this third rescheduling, Rahman, tired of the delays, fought the #2 contender over the summer for the WBC's "Interim" heavyweight title (i.e., temporary-champion status, pending the linear titleholder’s – Klitschko’s – return; then, the two must fight each other). Rahman won the "championship;" Vitali would be stripped of his now-disputed title if his first fight back was not against Rahman, or if he was not ready to fight by the WBC's deadline. During the first part of the week of November 12, 2005, Klitschko had major surgery in L.A. for right knee injuries (a torn meniscus, a bone bruise, plus an undiagnosed MCL tear) that occurred while training the week before. The total recovery time from such injuries averaged around 6 months. The WBC said it would strip him of the championship if he was unable to box within 60-90 days of a soon-to-be-announced base date. However, on November 9, 2005, Vitali Klitschko announced his retirement from professional boxing. He cited regrets about his suddenly-mounting injuries, a desire to leave the sport while still on top, and political aspirations in his home country of Ukraine[1]. He still occasionally calls out Lennox Lewis, who has been retired since early 2004, for a rematch.
Comeback
In the German Bild-Zeitung he announced on January 24, 2007 his comeback and requested at WBC a fight against Oleg Maskaev.[1] WBC President Jose Sulaiman explained, that the Board of Governors must vote about the fight. It would probably take place in Moscow. The Winner of the fight would have to fight against the mandatory challenger Samuel Peter.[2]
