This could be the last career fight in the ring for this heavyweight boxer-turned-politician. Mind you, the same has been said about him before.

World heavyweight champion Vitalii Klitschko, 40 is set to defend his WBC belt in the fight against 27 year-old German Manuel Charr in Moscow on Sept.8.

Klitschko heads the Ukrainian UDAR (punch) party which is becoming more and more popular among Ukrainians. It currently ranks third in opinion polls.

“Once the fight is over, I will play a more active role in politics so that Ukrainian voters back our political force to represent them” in parliament, Klitschko told the reporters at a pre-fight press-conference in Moscow.

The fight will be held at Olimpiysky sports complex in Moscow. It will be broadcast on Inter channel at 11 p.m.
