The Russian invasion of Ukraine has shaken the world. Sanctions and boycotts are being laid down on Mother Russia for their terrible acts of violence, and deservedly so. Less importantly, the invasion has also impacted the world of sports. F1 has canceled the Russian Grand Prix and UEFA announced they are moving the Champions League final from Saint Petersberg to Paris. On the other hand, a pair of Ukrainian sports legends are taking matters into their own hands.
The man above is the mayor of Kyiv, Ukraine. Just another politician right? Not even close. He is also former heavyweight boxing champion Vitali Klitschko. The 50-year-old Hall of Famer was elected mayor of Ukraine’s capital in 2014 and has actively protested against Russia in the past. He plans to take up arms and defend his city from the invasion. His brother Wladimir, also a former heavyweight boxing champion and Hall of Famer, plans to fight alongside him.
Russians who come face to face with these men in hand-to-hand combat on the battlefield will get what they deserve. The Klitschko brothers are certified bad-asses.
