More quotes by Wladimir Klitschko
I have a Ph.D. in philosophy and sports science. At 14, I went through this really tough Soviet training system. A lot of my roommates got psychologically broken or physically injured. Either you came through, or you were out. I made my Ph.D. work in the field of young athletes aged 14-19 because at this age any human is changing.

Earlier in my career, I never thought of boxing as a chess game, but I confirm that they are, in fact, very similar. You can plan your fights and strategy just like you would in chess.
Wladimir Klitschko
I don't like to get hit, who likes it? I probably wouldn't do this sport if I was getting hit that much.

In Soviet times the border was closed so we couldn't get out of the country, and I had been reading Robinson Crusoe. I wanted to see the ocean, I wanted to see boats, I wanted to see black people, because we didn't have that in the Soviet Union. I was all excited by that stuff.

Obsession is love in an extreme shape.

Who's gonna win between two brothers? The Klitschko mother's gonna win because she said it won't happen.
Wladimir Klitschko
It is up to the people and boxing fans to give me the respect I deserve once I have finished my career. I personally do not think about my legacy.
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 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
If I am 100% prepared for the fight, my opponent has no chance to win the fight. I am saying what I mean: He has a 0% chance to win the fight. There is going to be no luck involved there is going to be nothing else to stop me from winning the fight.
Wladimir Klitschko
There is no money in this world that will make us fight.
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'.
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
Defeat will help you. I've been there and done that. I shook it off and came back stronger. It's nothing to be scared about.
Wladimir Klitschko
My height is an advantage, if I want to use it.
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
You have to learn the opponent psychologically inside out and mental strength is one of the important makers. You're either gonna break it or make it.
Wladimir Klitschko
Nobody is born as a champion. You have to earn it through hard work. Get started!
