Vitali Klitschko Fighting Quotations

Recently I have been fighting more often with injuries than with my opponents. It's hard to retire from this sport, but I want to finish my career at the summit and leave the way open for my successors.

You talk about me, I am chicken to fight you. That's not true. I bring you dessert on November 12th.

I was actually very surprised, and I told myself wow, I want to fight this guy.

Unfortunately, I've been fighting injuries recently more than facing rivals in the ring.

As a champion, I can't fight against weak fighters.

I fight not for myself, I fight for the audience.

Every fight can be the last one, that's why for every fight I prepare myself like it's the last fight of my career.

If your opponent wants to fight, the fight will be very interesting not just for the audience, but for myself.

Chess is similar to boxing. You need to develop a strategy, and you need to think two or three steps ahead about what your opponent is doing. You have to be smart. But what’s the difference between chess and boxing? In chess, nobody is an expert, but everybody plays. In boxing everybody is an expert, but nobody fights.
