More quotes by Wladimir Klitschko

Wladimir Klitschko
Obsession is love in an extreme shape.

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
That's the most terrible mistake you can make: to relax. It's difficult to become a champion, but it's more difficult to maintain it for many years because you're getting too comfortable.
Wladimir Klitschko
My father told and taught me that the word, can hit harder than the fist.
Wladimir Klitschko
Mental strength is really important because you either win or lose in your mind.

When you're successful for so many years, the scariest part is that you're getting too comfortable because you've had so much success.
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

Wladimir Klitschko
I'm going to give him a pizza face.
Wladimir Klitschko
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.
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 think we have tremendous media covering the sport of boxing, even if boxing is a little bit lost in popularity with MMA sports. And I think that with the show 'Lights Out' it's going to get more attention to the sport, and it's going to put more attention to the problems that athletes in general have.
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
In the old days, when Muhammad Ali was fighting Ken Norton, Joe Frazier and George Foreman, there was a lot of excitement in the heavyweight division, I have to admit it.
Wladimir Klitschko
[Anthony Joshua] is the best man in the division and I believe this excitement speaks for itself. This is what the fans want and this fight must happen.
Wladimir Klitschko
Sometimes it's boring because it takes time, but it's enjoyable. So beating up people for a living is really fun.
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
Nobody is born as a champion. You have to earn it through hard work. Get started!
Wladimir Klitschko
I prepare for my fights to well that I don't wanna give a chance to my opponent to crash my 'glass chin' as they say, so I'm knocking them in the way that I like.
