The tensions between Russia and Ukraine have prompted former heavyweight champions Viitali Klitscho and Wladimir Klitschko to speak out. Wladimir announced he has enlisted in Ukraine’s reserve army, while Vital, the mayor of the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, warned that there will be a “painful price” for any aggressions.

  • Aside from the politics and the learned history lessons, Ukraine under heavy pressure right now from Putin’s intentions. Ukraine can’t do this alone defending themselves since they are limited. Hopefully, the assistance from other developed countries will be enough to calm storm that is brewing. One thing for sure… The US is not going to bully Russia on a combat level like they did against Iraq and Afghanistan. Russia is a developed country and if you notice, much respect given on both sides.

    • I’m sure they know this. Alone Russia would run through Ukraine like a freight train. Psychologically they can’t state the obvious or its bad for morale.

    • Scoob:
      – Hopefully, “other developed countries” does not mean the USA.
      – Let NATO and the European Union work this one out.
      – Take care.

    • It’s all an act by western politicians and their mainstream news media propaganda machine

      • They (Western politicians and media) must be placing fake Russian troops along the Ukraine border!

        • How often has NATO broken their promise to not enlargen their territory toward Russia sind 1989? How is it USA has rockets in range to attack russia? How would it be if Putin would have rockets in Canada and Mexiko to threaten the US? USA would go crazy!
          I really dont think the western media does a good job here. Its just always the evil russians and the good western countries.
          Putin has every right to have troops on the ukrainian border.

      • Our corrupt Federal government in DC should be defending our southern border right now!

        • I think the Feds should build a great big beautiful wall along the Northern border, cause thats where all the cold comes from.

    • The Klitchkos were well educated, military officers, spoke multiple languages, and prize fighters. Outstanding backgrounds in my opinion. Not too many people have resumes at that magnitude. Yes, respect to those brothers.

  • – I propose a boxing match between Putin / Klitschko to determine to outcome of the tensions between Russia and Ukraine.
    – The bout can be sanctioned by the WBC.
    – The WBC can issue a new title belt “Leader of World’s Nations Champion” and all of the world’s leaders can pay sanctioning fees 🙂

      • Fury vs Whyte is BS and of no interest. Fury might even lose if he shows up fat and back on drugs. But Whyte weaseled out of his fight with Wallin with a fake injury. Walling beat up on Fury like no one else. He’s the one who deserves another shot, and if anyone’s a “coward” it’s Fury and Whyte for avoiding him.

    • Why don’t you try to explain it then? Tell us how Ukraine and the Klitschkos are like Nazis? You have to stop watching conspiracy theory networks. I’m quite certain that I know the Ukrainian people more than anybody on this board, because I spent three months there. The only thing I really want to stress is that the United States should stay the hell out of this. But, since we are a war mongering neocon nation who has no other export other than our military, I’m quite certain that we will stir the pot until something happens.

  • In an ongoing conflict like this, you have to look at the other side of the coin.

    I do not defend the Russian actions around Ukraines boarder to start with.

    At the same time, regardless of what one thinks of the Russian side, I neither support NATO’s nor EU’s expansion towards east, nor the economic policies that were more or less forced on Russia once, the same with military exercises and bases along the Russian border, then the rhetoric from the west, and US foreign policy, all have unfortunately often contributed to all kinds of military tensions around the globe.

    If, for example, China had a significant political, military and economic impact on Mexico and Canada, it would of course provoke enormous reactions in the United States.

    The West needs to clearly mark and assure that Ukraine will not be taken up by either NATO or the EU.

    I am convinced that if this is not done, we will have Russian nuclear-armed units that will aggressively sniff around the borders of the United States and a number of European countries that are mainly members of NATO or indirectly support the organization.

    Perhaps with the support from countries like China and Iran.

    We have a very dangerous political situation in the world and the Western world has a crucial part in that.

    • And if any of this that you speak of does transpire, the west will be solely to blame. Speaking of both NATO and the EU, both need to be dissolved for stability in not only the West but in Russia. But, megalomaniacal psychopaths who are greedy to their souls will never let that happen.

  • What kind of American gives a bleep about Ukraine’s borders but doesn’t care about America’s borders? Probably crooked politicians who receive large donations from the military industry. The cowardly politicians who were hiding under desks on Jan 6th from an unarmed “threat,” are the same spineless wimps who wanna send our kids off to die in some foreign war! And as far as America fighting a cold weather war, give me a break; I had a relative fight in the Korean War, which he said was a frigid nightmare & America lost.

  • The Klitschko’s are and allways have been exemplary athletes and representatives of boxing. Now showing patriotism as well. Respect.

    • I agree with every thing you say Michael, I have always had a lot of respect for the Klitschko brothers.

    • Nah, they are the boxing version of Hollywood. Fake, elites that run around acting like their bowel movements don’t smell because they’re “philanthropists” and don’t actually care about people but want people to think they do.

  • Russia will maul Ukraine and that includes both klitschkos. No boxing match here, if it was it would be a first or second round devistating KO win for the Russians.

    • Not about who mauls who but about (in my view) a sovereign country – that has done nothing wrong – possibly being invaded by a bully country that can hardly even look after its own people but wants to grow its empire i.e. about right and wrong. Obviously, Russia wins a military conflict, we all know that.

      • “A bully country”? Ukraine is one of the most corrupt nations in the entire world! Further, they are originally part of Russia. Russia has had a cool head with alot of blame being hurled onto them. You can’t straddle the fence as both provocateur and bully. What ever happened with the US money that was funneled into a German bank account for Vitali Klitschko from the US(puppet money)?

      • And he don’t gives a f.. about being heroic ! He is just willing to defend his country against the shameful Russian invasion!

  • Klitschko was born in Kazakhstan he’s not even a real Ukrainian lol sounds like he has an inferiority complex.

  • Biden’s puppeteers and the fakemedia are so so so interested in the Ukrainian border but have zero interest in the US border.

  • A 6’6″ soldier makes a good target.

    Russia and the Ukraine are kindred people. They like to see us kill each other.

  • I think that are Show-speach from Wlad. Not a serios announcement. That was only for the Media! In my opinion are this Wlad-Trashtalk. Better he fight in the Ring again!

  • Perhaps they’d stand more of a chance if Usyk enlisted instead of washed up, old balls Wladimir Klitschko.

  • Always have been a fan of Wladimir Klitschko and his brother, these guy’s are real warriors and just great human beings..

  • agreed the klitscho brothers are real warriors and will fight for their country
