Wladimir Klitschko Not Joining Politics
WBO Heavyweight Champion of the world Wladimir Klitschko will not be joining mainstream politics anytime in the near future and his sole concentration at the moment is on his boxing career. According to the brother of Wladimir, Vitali Klitschko, who is also a leader of the UDAR Party in their native in Ukraine has asserted that his younger brother was not yet ready for politics and even he didn’t want him to get into politics at this point in time.
According to Vitali, who was speaking at a press meet ahead of the elections in the Ukraine in a few months time, Wladimir is a not a member of the UDAR Party and there has been no discussion within the party to draft him into the scheme of things and let him contest in the general elections that are coming up in a few months’ time. The press conference was held following the 9th Party Congress of the UDAR Party in Kiev.
He also mentioned that five of the top rung candidates for the elections have already been decided upon via unanimous decision but he didn’t mention the names, although he did confirm that his brother Wladimir Klitschko was not in that list and will not be in any list that are subsequently brought out. Vitali and Wladimir are both currently reigning world champions and hold all the five most prestigious titles that boxing has to offer in the Heavyweight division together.
There were rumors doing the rounds recently that Wladimir would join his brother in active politics, where he is the member of the Kiev City Council, having run for the Mayoral elections twice already. But Vitali has moved to dispel all the rumors and it seems that Wladimir Klitschko will be concentrating on boxing alone for the time being.
