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.
