Former heavyweight champion boxer Vitali Klitschko told ITV that he is prepared to fight for Ukraine after Russia began military operations in the country.
Klitschko, who is the mayor of capital city Kyiv, said Ukrainians have garnered weapons and were “soldiers ready to defend their city.”
When Klitschko was asked if he would join forces with the Ukrainians to fight the Russians, he said it was an obligation for himself.
“I don't have another choice. I have to do that... I will be fighting,” Klitschko said.
In what Klitschko described already as a "bloody" war, he believes in the people in his country can fend off the invasion.
