Once a heavyweight champion, Kyiv's mayor now fights the Russians

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko speaks in March in front of an apartment building that was shelled by Russian forces. Klitschko, a former world heavyweight boxing champion, has been mayor of Kyiv since 2014.

Mayor Vitali Klitschko was known as Dr. Ironfist when he dominated the boxing ranks. Now he leads Ukraine's capital city with an equally fierce determination in the battle against Russia.
