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.

More quotes by 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
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
He's been an inspiration for me since the Olympics 1996.
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
Who's gonna win between two brothers? The Klitschko mother's gonna win because she said it won't happen.

[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
After Chernobyl, thousands and thousands of people, if not millions, were given a death penalty and had to pay the price, our father among them.
Wladimir Klitschko
I think that boxing is actually not as dangerous as the politics. In boxing, you're gonna get a bloody nose or a black eye. In politics you can obviously get either dioxin in the food or bullet in the head.
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 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
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
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
You lose or you win the fight - and anything in life - in your mind. I can look at how the person walks, how he speaks, his expressions. It's a wisdom. Eyes are the mirror of the soul. So you can read a lot.
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 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
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
The challenge for me is his size because, for the first time in my career, I'll be meeting an opponent who is taller than me and has a longer reach.
Wladimir Klitschko
Politics is comparable to boxing. The only thing is that in politics there are basically no rules. In boxing, you can get a black eye, but in politics you can get poison in your food or a bullet in the head. It's definitely rougher and tougher than other sports.
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.
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.
