“Having sat through several disappointing Sky original documentaries and films, my hopes for this were not very high.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJuxtaposing a boxing career with the current conflict could easily come across as corny and vulgar, but Macdonald does a good job of making it work.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI, although not personally affected, have followed the war from its outset and had a substantial knowledge of the area, however there were things here I did not know.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI found Klitschkou0026#39;s family history, his fatheru0026#39;s involvement in Chernobyl and the animosity between the current president and former boxer of particular interest.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis being said, this would definitely have been better suited as a mini series, further involving his brother. The boxing career highlights were so severely cut short, I feel the director could have dedicated one episode to boxing, one to his transition into politics and a third on the current conflict.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJust like Klitschkou0026#39;s fight with Lennox Lewis, this one was brought to an end prematurely.”
