    was also an ex-kickboxer?...
    he actually first had his combat experience as a kickboxer than later transitioned to pro boxing.

    not bad right?...i mean this guy is concidered as the next big thing in the HW division.

    Was wladimir also a kickboxer in the past or just his brother?

    Yeah, Povetkin did karate when he was a kid, kickboxing during his teens and early 20's, and then focused only on boxing. Also, like Vitali, he has shoulder problems. :-( It's the reason why the Byrd match was delayed a month.
