UKRAINIAN HEAVYWEIGHT BOXERS Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko say they have no intention of retiring from the sport.
The brothers, who both made their professional debuts in 1996, were in London for the release of a new biopic that offers a close insight into their lives.
‘Klitschko’ aims to tell all about the pair, who said they had no plans of quitting any time soon. ”There’s motivation left, there’s excitement about the sport and fighting left and that’s why it’s not over yet,” Wladimir Klitschko said.
The film includes a host of rare interviews and footage that has never been seen before.
“I think it’s just sharing our Klitschko experience with the fans of boxing and our fans as well,” Wladimir Klitschko said ”It’s a chance for the fans to take a closer look at the sport and the Klitschko brothers. It’s about sharing the experience.
“It’s the first time and last time that our parents will give an interview in front of the cameras, for example.
“There are also things that I haven’t even seen because the film director, Sebastian Dehnhardt, found some footage that I haven’t seen before.
“Footage of my brother for example at age 18, somewhere in the United States, giving interviews, looking totally funny, skinny and drinking Coke.
“It was the first time that I had ever seen it, and even Vitali’s children were so entertained by it, to see their father at such a young age. It’s 110 minutes, pretty long, but long enough to get as much information as is possible, and I said previously it’s sharing our experience with the fans, and our lifestyle.”
