Prominent Ukrainian boxer, one of the most dominant champions in the history of the super heavyweight division, winner of the 1996 Olympics Wladimir Klitschko has spoken out on the passing of legendary German footballer Franz Beckenbauer, who passed away yesterday at the age of 79.
"Legends are immortal. Beckenbauer is a legend. He wrote some of the best pages of German football.
He was a loyal friend of Ukraine and a defender of democracy. My thoughts are with his family and friends. Rest in peace, champion," Klitschko wrote in his tweet.
