The post drew over a thousand likes/favourites from well-wishers and sports fans. The Instagram post had an image of Klitschko standing with his back to the camera wearing a shirt with the words, “Failure is not an option’.

Nicknamed “Dr. Steelhammer”, the 38-year-old is one of the most dominant boxers in any weight division in the sport. Klitschko, who has not lost a bout since 2004, has career record of 63-3-0 (53 knockouts) and owns the World Boxing Association (WBA) super world heavyweight title, World Boxing Organization (WBO) world heavyweight title, International Boxing Federation (IBF) world heavyweight title and the International Boxing Organization (IBO) world heavyweight title. Klitschko’s most recent win came against Kubrat Pulev last November when he won via a 5th round knockout.

The Ukrainian boxing star began dating American actress Panettiere in 2009 and was in an on-off relationship before being engaged in Oct. 2013. The 25-year-old Panettiere, who is from Palisades, New York, is known for her role as Claire Bennet in the hit TV series “Heroes” from 2006 to 2010. She was also casted as Juliette Barnes in the musical drama series “Nashville”.

Even at 38 years old and 19 years as a boxing professional, there appears to be no slowing down for Klitschko, who is on a 21-fight win streak. With four heavyweight title belts he’ll is scheduled to defend them in April 2015 in an yet unnamed venue and unnamed opponent. However, Klitschko is also about to embark on his toughest fight yet, that of being a father.
