35 Inspirational Wladimir Klitschko Quotes On Success

Wladimir Klitschko is a Ukrainian former professional boxer who competed from 1996 to 2017. He held the world heavyweight championship twice, including the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, IBO, Ring magazine and lineal titles. A strategic and intelligent boxer, Klitschko is considered to be one of the best heavyweight champions of all time. He was known for his exceptional knockout power, using a strong jab, straight right hand and left hook, as well as excellent footwork and mobility, unusual for boxers of his size. Until his loss to Tyson Fury in 2015, Klitschko was also recognized as lineal champion by the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board, while the WBA recognised him as one of its ‘Super champions’, a distinction given to boxers who hold that title in addition to those by other sanctioning bodies in the same division. From 2006 to 2015, Wladimir and his older brother Vitali (himself a former world heavyweight champion) dominated heavyweight boxing, a period typically known as the ‘Klitschko Era’ of the division. May his quotes inspire you to take action so that you may live your dreams

1. “All of my fights are planned. I study my opponents from A to Z. How he walks, how he looks, how he speaks, gestures of the human body, which is a certain language that provides you lots of information if you have the ability to read it. You just need to pay attention to it and gain experience over the years.” Wladimir Klitschko

2. “If I am 100% prepared for the fight, my opponent has no chance to win the fight. I am saying what I mean: He has a 0% chance to win the fight. There is going to be no luck involved; there is going to be nothing else to stop me from winning the fight.” Wladimir Klitschko

3. “I train six days a week for four to five hours a day. I like to keep the same schedule when I’m in camp for every fight.” Wladimir Klitschko

4. “I don’t care where people come from. It is not important to me. If you are good, people will like you, if you’re not, they won’t. It is simple.” Wladimir Klitschko

5. “Mental strength is really important because you either win or lose in your mind. And I’m not solely talking about sporting matches, and boxing events – anything you do, you do it first with your mental strength. And you can actually train and develop it, and I am responsible for what I’m saying because I have experience with that.” Wladimir Klitschko

6. “When people are tipsy, they’re really encouraged and they wanna prove they can do something to the Heavyweight champion.” Wladimir Klitschko

10. “I would compare it to an actor. I drive myself into the character that later on is in the ring.” Wladimir Klitschko

11. “The first thing I learned in boxing is to not get hit. That’s the art of boxing. Execute your opponent without getting hit. In sports school, we were putting our hands behind our backs and having to defend ourselves with our shoulders, by rolling, by moving round the ring, moving our feet.” Wladimir Klitschko

12. “I prepare for my fights so well that I don’t wanna give a chance to my opponent to crash my ‘glass chin’ as they say, so I’m knocking them in the way that I like.” Wladimir Klitschko

15. “You can train your mental strength just like you train your body. If your body looks fit or ripped, it looks strong, and you can flex your muscles. So, physically, you have certain strength. Mentally, it’s the same thing. You can train your psychological strength.” Wladimir Klitschko

16. “You have to learn the opponent psychologically inside out and mental strength is one of the important makers. You’re either gonna break it or make it.” Wladimir Klitschko

17. “The reality of growing up is we changed schools so many times, my brother was my best friend. We have a five-year age gap, and my brother inspired me. He started boxing, and I just want to show that I could do things better than him.” Wladimir Klitschko

18. “My father told and taught me that – The word can hit harder than the fist.” Wladimir Klitschko

19. “Politics is comparable to boxing. The only thing is that in politics there are basically no rules. In boxing, you can get a black eye, but in politics you can get poison in your food or a bullet. It’s definitely rougher and tougher than other sports.” Wladimir Klitschko

20. “From nothing to everything is a long way; from everything to nothing is one stop.” Wladimir Klitschko

31. “When you’re successful for so many years, the scariest part is that you’re getting too comfortable because you’ve had so much success.” Wladimir Klitschko

32. “I learned in my PhD the discipline I needed to be successful. Most boxers are not that disciplined. They have talent, but the self-organization – the ability to schedule yourself and your priorities – is lacking. My studies were about the control of training on both the psychological and the physical side.” Wladimir Klitschko

33. “The whole key is to be honest with yourself, find the weak spots, work on it, get it done.” Wladimir Klitschko
