I am very grateful for everything you have done for me and for boxing in general. You were a fiery individual with an impeccable work ethic. I was fortunate to be one of the 41 champions you trained during your incredible career. We have come a long way, winning titles and belts all over the world.

R.I.P. Coach, I promise to keep my left hand up and keep punching until we meet again. Love you man!", Klitschko wrote on Instagram.
