SOUNDBITE (English) Wladimir Klitschko, Heavyweight Champion:

"My mind is over there, my body is over here is a way to say it. And I know that I have to stay focused 100% for the fight on April 26th. But everything that is going on in the Ukraine, worries a lot. There's human lives on the line.

"You can do even more and a lot if you're not a politician. So there's certain pros and cons in every position. And certainly in the combination when one brother is a politican and the other is not, there is nothing bad with that.

"As for now I am focused on my sporting career because every fight is very important. And I've been working since I was 14 to get there where I am right now And it's not just, as we get to know and see, it's my stage and it can put attention to anything that I want from that stage."
