WBC heavyweight titlist Vitali Klitschko got into the middle of a political scuffle in Kiev, Ukraine, and was punched in the face in the process. Klitschko resisted the urge to take any swings at anyone.
"I didn't hit anyone, I just tried to push a few people away," he told television channel 1+1 afterwards.
Klitschko, who last month successfully defended his WBC title, added that using his mighty strength "could have led to certain lawmakers being admitted to hospital."
Klitschko hitting anybody would have been massive news and probably knocked someone out cold, so it's a testament to his patience and self-control that he didn't do anything. Good for Vitali.
Klitschko returns to the ring in December against unbeaten American Kevin Johnson.

Must have been a stray punch...
Can’t imagine anyone would have actually been aiming for him. Great self control though.
I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘’Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.'’ (Bernard Hopkins)
Stray punch?
Can’t see how someone could hit a 6 foot 7 with a stray punch square in the face!
They must have some massive cojones though.
That guy is right at the top of my list of “People not the Punch”.
Keep firing Assholes!
Never trust a man with no shirt on.
seriously
some people talk so much shit about the Klitscho-KO brothers, but honestly if you were walking in the streets and saw those two behemoths walking towards you with the scowl of a russian mobster you would probably defecate yourself
