Fighter Biography: Wladimir Klitschko (a German transliteration of Russian: Владимир Владимирович Кличко, tr. Vladimir Vladimirovič Kličko, IPA: [vladɪmɪr klɪtʃko], /ˈvlædɨmɪər ˈklɪtʃkoʊ/; Ukrainian: Володимир Володимирович Кличко, tr.Volodymyr Volodymyrovyč Klyčko, IPA: [ʋɔlɔˈdɨmɨr klɨtʃˈkɔ]; born 25 March 1976) is a Ukrainian heavyweight boxer. Wladimir is the IBF, IBO, WBO and Ring Magazine Champion. His older brother Vitali Klitschko is the current WBC champion. Wladimir is the longest reigning Heavyweight Champion in history for the IBF, WBO & IBO heavyweight titles, both in measurements of defenses and time. As of 2011, Ring Magazine rates Klitschko as the number five pound-for-pound boxer in the world.Since 2005, Klitschko has been the dominant force in the heavyweight division, defeating a majority of the top heavyweights in the rankings. When Klitschko won the IBF title against Chris Byrd there were four separate heavyweight champions. Since then unified the IBF and WBO belts and defeated the WBA champion in recess. Following his win over Ruslan Chagaev, Klitschko was awarded the vacant Ring Magazine Heavyweight Title. He broke TommyBurns long held record of eight consecutive title defences by knockout. He works behind a strong left jab and possesses one of the strongest right crosses in boxing. Klitschko is a safety first fighter; however, he tends to methodically break down his opponents over a series of rounds. Emmanuel Steward, Klitschko's trainer, has also pointed out that Klitschko's ability to hurt opponents late on in fights (Tony Thompson, Samuel Peter, etc.) is a sign of his power. He has gone on to say that he feels Klitschko is one of the hardest punchers in heavyweight history.
