AFP - Ukraine boxing hero Vitaly Klitschko vowed that he would be victorious in his first political fight and deal a surprise knockout to Kiev's veteran mayor in Sunday's election for the top city post.

AP - The former heavyweight boxing champion climbed nimbly onto the back of a pickup truck as the crowd roared his name. Vitali Klitschko smiled shyly and took a deep breath. In this fight, Klitschko is the underdog — a position he's not used to.
