It’s a great sign your winning the locals over by having to kidnap 30 mayors….
I am always surprised that he is now more known as mayor than as a boxer. He and his brother were great boxers. >

My parents always called him "my godfather" and I still have no idea why. >

Maybe he was your godfather? >

-Kyiv Mayor [and former boxing heavyweight champion]
Fun fact: the song “Sonne” by Rammstein was to be used as his entrance music at one point. >

So that inspired me to look up a translation of the lyrics.

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,out
It will not go down tonight
And the world counts loudly to 10

Yup das is boxink >

Damn that’s one scary looking dude. I feel like a mortar shell would bounce off his forehead >

Well he was heavyweight champion for awhile who was known to have granite chin. Definitely someone not worth messing with. >

It's so weird. I remember watching his fights when I was younger. I looked up to him as a boxer that never up.
He is still the same as Mayor. One cold and hard mother fucker that just keeps going. No matter how hard he has it.
Ukrainians are a different breed >

Some of the nastiest wars being fought in the same land for centuries will carve some fuckers out of stone. Poland/Ukraine - Galacia, there are some brute force genes found there, but it’s brains to keep one alive, so smart and tough. >

Do you mean Galicia, or Galatia? I've never head of a Galacia >

No worries - wiki >

Wow, nice. I learned something today >

:) love to hear it!
Tracing my family tree had me learn it as some great great grandparents had it written on tombstones as their birth place. It’s crazy how borders change and empires have come and gone and there’s really just too much human history to learn in school.
