Wladimir, in the interview, said: “I was in Bucha, I saw it with my own eyes. All the civilians that had been tortured, with their hands tied behind their backs, with a shot in the head, executed. There are so many children that have been suffering, killed or injured up to 1000 children, we can’t give exact numbers as the numbers are still going up and counting.“

Klitschko also urged for a ban on all Russian athletes and asked the IOC to act now. Wladimir said: “The IOC should ban the Russian team now, the war is going on.

Wladimir Klitschko also revealed that he was planning to call out Tyson Fury for one last fight so that he can have his revenge against him. Tyson recently defeated Dillian Whyte and announced his retirement from boxing. Wladimir Klitschko said that since Tyson was considering retiring, one last fight between them could have been great.

Wladimir, in his interview, said: “I was thinking I should just text Tyson Fury and tweet, ‘Last dance?’ He wants to retire. We were supposed to have this rematch, and that’s what I was thinking about it. You know, I didn’t do it because my mind was in a totally different world.” According to Wladimir, both fighters were supposed to have a rematch but the war spoiled the plans.

Wladimir Klitschko also talked about his sporting legacy and said he could have become the world’s oldest heavyweight champion. The record is currently in the name of George Foreman, who became the oldest heavyweight champion at 45. Wladimir said: “I had a dream to become the oldest heavyweight champion of the world … But we were talking about something that was happening before and now there’s a big question mark.”
