SOUNDBITE: (English) Wladimir Klitschko (Q: Russia chose not to broadcast your last fight because of the political situation with the Ukraine. What do you make of this decision?):

"Sport has the power to change the world. And this is the line and the quote from Nelson Mandela and not to show (a) sporting event on television in Russia is definitely a mistake by their political propaganda that is going against the Ukraine. And obviously Klitschko is part of it which has short term, the political propaganda has short term (aims) It's powerful and it works well to brainwash people in the country but it is short term, not long term, and eventually there is going to come a place. I'm more than sure that sport has this power to unite nations and not divide them."
