More quotes by Wladimir Klitschko
Only younger brothers will understand me. We're following in the footsteps of older brothers. You are looking up to your brother. You want to do the same things. You want to do as good as he and do it even better.
Wladimir Klitschko
There's certain things that you cannot cross, no matter who you are, what you're doing or where you're coming from.
Wladimir Klitschko
The man wannabe actually...a wannabe. David Haye's a wannabe.
Wladimir Klitschko
I'm playing right now a role, and the role is called the 'Heavyweight Champion of the World.' And it takes all of the time. And I love this role, and it takes a lot of attention for me for the sport, and I just don't want to lose the title, so that's why I have to stay focused and not become an actor.
Wladimir Klitschko
I respect the IBF obligation to fight Povetkin, but I would like the exception to fight David Haye. That is the only title the Klitschkos don't have. We have them all except the WBA, which is why Haye is such an interesting cookie for me to eat.
Wladimir Klitschko
I never fought in my life outside of a ring.
Wladimir Klitschko
My height is an advantage, if I want to use it.
Wladimir Klitschko
I've fought everybody without ducking anyone. I have beaten 10 undefeated guys, and I never was comparing myself to the greatest in the sport. I was not thinking of breaking any records. I'm just enjoying my time in boxing.
Wladimir Klitschko
I would compare it to an actor. I drive myself into the character that later on is in the ring.
Wladimir Klitschko
I should say that mental strength is No. 1, experience [is] No. 2, physical strength is No. 3, and genetic ability that you're getting from Mother Nature probably comes after.
Wladimir Klitschko
Exactly this type of people like you, at the beginning you're gonna be shy but later on you're gonna jump on a chair and you will scream hit him!
Wladimir Klitschko
The man without a chin, no stamina, dead man, broken man, whatever. On your way to the top, you always get some criticism. Criticism is a great motivation. Failure is not an option to me.
Wladimir Klitschko
The first thing I learned in boxing is to not get hit. That's the art of boxing. Execute your opponent without getting hit. In sports school we were putting our hands behind our backs and having to defend ourselves with our shoulders, by rolling, by moving round the ring, moving out feet.
Wladimir Klitschko
You can take your fitness seriously, but not yourself. That's the most difficult part: not to relax. That's the most difficult challenge I'm facing every fight.
Wladimir Klitschko
I think a fight with David Haye, even if he is not American, is going to give positive vibes about the heavyweight division for the American fans and fans worldwide.
Wladimir Klitschko
Mental strength is really important because you either win or lose in your mind.
Wladimir Klitschko
I don't care where people come from. It is not important to me. If you are good people will like you, if you're not, they won't. It is simple.
Wladimir Klitschko
I always train and prepare with highest concentration and focus on my next opponent. To me, it does not matter what his name is.
Wladimir Klitschko
On your way to the top, you always get some chriticism. Criticism is a great motivation.
Wladimir Klitschko
I heard that I am crazy for taking this fight but I'm very excited about this chance. His manager is saying that I'm a 'dead man walking' but 'dead men' cannot have 'nightmares'.
