Ukraine's boxing star Vitali Klitschko on Tuesday vowed to win a better future for his country as he sprang back into campaigning for parliamentary polls just three days after defending his world title.
“I’m putting sporting contests behind me for the moment,” said the burly two-metre-tall World Boxing Council champion, 41, who left his latest opponent, Germany’s Manuel Charr, bleeding profusely after his win in Moscow on Saturday.
“Now I have a more serious task, that of taking up the political fight again for the future of my country,” he vowed at a press conference in Kyiv before going on the campaign trail ahead of parliamentary polls on October 28.
