    Klits came from the place full of crooks and con artists that’s why they were suspicious and figured King out pretty quick. Don playing piano without a doubt wanted to impress them but ended up making a clown of himself .

    It's documented that the Klitschko brothers, as amateur boxers, worked as "muscle" for the Ukrainian mobster Victor Rybalko (who was later killed in a gangland hit).

    Rybalko is the short, bald guy in the photos below. In the extended video of the Klitschkos visiting Don King, King even asks "Which one of you is Victor?" Because Don King was told who Victor was in advance and knew who Victor was.

    It basically would've been like if a boxer showed up at a meeting with a new promoter and Al Capone or John Gotti showed up with the fighters, and negotiated for them with the promoter.

    The Klitschkos were in the Ukraine mob. Rybalko helped negotiate their first deals.

    What's intereting was no other U.S. promoter was courting the Klitschkos after the 1996 Olympics. Just King. Had he landed them, he'd have probably held control of the division for another 20 years.
