Vitali Klitschko kickboxing highlights

ENGLISH: Originally Vitali started his career as an amateur kickboxer. It s well known that he has never been knocked out in his boxing career (two of his losses came by injury) but as a kickboxer he was KOd by the Englishman Pele Reid in 1992, in the final of the European Kickboxing Championships (+89 kg light contact). This is what Vitali said about this: My fight with him was a semicontact kickboxing match 12 years ago. I lost that fight because of a kick to my thigh, not a punch. Lennox is the biggest puncher in the world and he could not knock me In 1993 he defeated Ryushi Yanagisawa in the Japanese mixed martial arts promotion Pancrase under WKA Special Rules (no low kicks) via R5 decision.

He was a kickboxing world champion six times (professional and amateur). MACEDONIAN (МАКЕДОНСКИ):
