Klitschko: “Kyiv becoming world boxing capital”

Two boxing legends Vitaliy Klitschko and Lennox Lewis will get together at a special event staged at the Convention. Klitschko has said Kyiv is becoming the boxing capital of the world. "In May, WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman and I signed a pair of boxing gloves symbolically securing a contract on hosting the 56th WBC Convention in Kyiv. Now there are only a few days left until this biggest event!" he said at a joint press conference with the president of the WBC in Kyiv on Thursday, according to the mayor's press service. "I wouldn't be exaggerating to say that many wonderful surprises await you at the Convention. Kyiv becomes the boxing capital of the world! These six days will be rich in various showpieces- shows, meetings with fans, charity events, but mostly the Convention will be dedicated to shaping the future strategies of the WBC development.”
