Klitschko

Klitschko

Klitschko (Ukrainian: "Кличко"), sometimes referred to as Klychko (the more usual English transliteration from Ukrainian) is the last name of two brothers from Ukraine, heavyweight boxing champions:

* Vitali Klitschko (born 1971)
* Wladimir Klitschko (born 1976)

They often reside in Germany, where they have become media stars. Both brothers made their professional debut on November 6, 1996 in Hamburg. Since then each of them was a heavyweight world champion in boxing, however they have stated they will never fight each other.

Their common activities include supporting each other during training and fights, appearances in German TV shows and commercials, a website [http://klitschko.com klitchko.com] , and running together a charitable "Klitschko Brothers Fund".
