Champion boxer Klitschko says he has 2 distinct personalities in and out of the ring - TIME

Klitschko is the only champion boxer who has a Ph.D. and speaks 4 languages.

TIME: How different are you in the ring from how you are now? Do you have to work at getting more aggressive?

Klitschko: I would compare it to an actor. I drive myself into the character that later on is in the ring through five, six weeks of the training camp. But aggression means emotions. Emotions mean you get off your plan, and that means you're going to lose the fight. You have to just execute your game plan. Everything else, all emotions, you have to put aside.



TIME: Can I make a suggestion for your postboxing career? Movie villain. Try saying "Goodbye, Mr. Bond."

Klitschko: I prefer "I'll be back."

TIME video: 10 Questions for Jorge Ramos



Edited excerpts from the interview (see the reference link below for the complete text):

"Do you think Mexico would ever allow U.S. military intervention (to control the drug cartels)?

Mexico will never accept U.S. military intervention. Mexicans always remember 1848. That's when Mexico lost more than half its territory [in a war with the U.S.]. Having said that, I think that the presence of U.N. soldiers in parts of Mexico, including Ciudad Juárez, should be a possibility.

Whom would you like to interview whom you have not yet interviewed?

Nelson Mandela. He always understood that injustice cannot last forever.

Hispanics are now the largest U.S. minority and growing. In your view, what is the most important implication of that fact?

The process of change is well under way. The U.S. is the largest Spanish-speaking country in the world, with the exception of Mexico. It means — and I am completely convinced of this — that the first Hispanic President has already been born."
