On March 25, the legendary Ukrainian boxer, former world heavyweight champion Vladimir Klitschko turned 49 years old. His brother, Vitaliy, posted a message on social media congratulating him on his birthday:
“Even though I am the older brother, I learn a lot from you, Vladimir. On the other hand, since in childhood and adolescence my parents told me that I was responsible for you while they were at work, I still feel this responsibility.
You are very goal-oriented and strive for success in everything you undertake. And you win. You are the most caring father and the best uncle.
I have no closer friend than you. You know… This war has made us even more united and taught us to value a reliable shoulder even more. Thank you for your support and help. Together we are stronger.
I always thank our mom on this day for such a cool gift. Happy birthday, brother!” the message reads.
Vladimir Klitschko held the WBO (2000-03, 2008-15), IBF (2006-15), IBO (2006-15), The Ring (2009-15) and WBA (2011-15) heavyweight world titles.
