Sports Film of the Week: Klitschko

The documentary examines the unique upbringing and careers of Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko.

Title: Facing Ali

Director: Sebastian Dehnhardt

Release Date: 2011

Plot: The interest in boxing’s heavyweight division is probably at an all-time low at the moment and the reason for that is the complete and utter domination of Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko.

‘Klitschko’ takes a look at the brothers’ childhood at a Soviet military base and there is a lot of interesting stuff around how the two came to the sport of boxing with different attitudes.

You get a great sense of how important each brother is to the other when you see them in their private moments, although it still would be great if there was a superfight between the two at some stage.

Here is the trailer.
