Wladimir Klitschko: I lost my first two fights, as well as the last two

The former king of the heavyweight division Wladimir Klitschko said that the beginning of his career in boxing turned out exactly the same as its end.

“In my first fight, I didn't know what to do. I was 14 years old and lost my first two fights. And I lost my last two fights (laughs). I just figured it out. After 27 years, I lost my last two fights, like the first two.

"The first fight was against my roommate when we were at the boarding school. He was my friend, we played more, but in any case I lost. And I spent the second fight in the circus. Just think: you are 14 years old, there are all these spotlights around. I climbed the stairs to the ring, my legs trembled. Suddenly a bell sounded, my rival was standing in front of me.

"I hit him several times, but then I stopped and didn't know what to do. It was a total disappointment: I didn't know how to finish it. And I lost. Because of my passivity, the referee intervened and said: “Stop, this is the end. You lose. Your opponent has won,” Klitschko said on the Miami Herbert Huddle podcast.
