"I am a fighter" - Wladimir Klitschko says he is ready to fight for his country as Russian troops lose morale
Wladimir Klitschko has given a strong message to the people of Ukraine and Russia as his country remains at war with Russia. Here's what 'Dr Steelhammer' had to say when asked if he would fight if it came down to it:
"I am Ukrainian and I am a fighter. Our strongest force is the will and desire to live in a free country and we have chosen the direction we will wanna go. We are a European country and we wanna make sure that our values are going to be implemented rightly into our society. And no one else is gonna decide for us, how we should live."
