A World Champion Brother
Wladimir, of course, isn't the only boxer in the family. His older brother, Vitali, ruled the heavyweight division for much of the same time as Wladimir (though they never fought each other), finishing his career in 2012 with 45 wins (41 knockouts) and just two defeats. He hung up his gloves as the WBC heavyweight champ, a belt he successfully defended 10 times overall.
Vitali has turned political in his post-boxing life, as he serves as the Mayor of Kiev. Vitali and his wife Natalia, who is quite successful in her own right, have three children together. (Getty)
