    We want to support Japan during its tragedy," Klitschko said. "I know one of the judges [for the fight] will be from Japan, and coming from Ukraine, and I was, in 1986, close to Chernobyl. My father [a colonel in the Soviet air force] was there. And I know how big this tragedy is. And I understand right now the attention of the whole world is on Japan, and everybody is looking how the situation will develop."I want to support Japan's people. I want to support the people who are fighting right now against this tragedy. And we definitely will make a donation from this fight to support Japan. Because I know how hard is it. I know how dangerous it is because it's touched my family -- the tragedy in Chernobyl, I know how difficult it is right now in Japan.
    "We just saw the news from Japan and see the news every day. I know all the fans and all the media are watching the nuclear tragedy in Japan. Sport connects people. Sport can change the world. And I'm more than sure we have a lot of power to help the Japanese people who have problems, first from the earthquake and from the tsunami and now their nuclear problem."

    I expected some posters to turn this into that Vitali is trying to get on the good side of the Japanese judge, but you can be certain it's totally sincere with what the Ukraine went through with Chernobyl.

    Classy guy!
