A short summary shows the media interest in Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko and the coverage potential of communication.
The last Klitschko boxing matches had ratings of over 12 million viewers in German television and the market share was well over 50%. In addition, the events were transmitted to over 100 countries.
Besides their performance in television commercials as testimonials, e.g., for Milchschnitte (Ferrero) and Tempo tissues (Procter&Gamble), they are also very sought-after guests on television programmes.
Most recently on „Wetten, dass ...?“ (You Bet!) Europe’s most successful television show, they sat next to fellow wagering-partner celebrities, such as Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Garner on Thomas Gottschalk’s sofa. The Klitschko brothers have been guests on „Wetten dass..?“ on four separate occasions.
On „Stars in der Manege“ (Circus of the Stars) they fascinated the celebrity audience with their magic and on „TV Total“ with host Stefan Raab, they showed their great sense of humour.
With Beckmann, Kerner and Harald Schmidt, three popular German talkshows, they chatted about their career, desires and goals. Maybrit Illner invited them to „Berlin Mitte“ a political talkshow, where they discussed international relations with guests from political and business arenas.
Moreover, they were guests in numerous international shows, i.e., in Austria, Switzerland, Russia, the Ukraine, and even the USA – where they have appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
Besides the media, film producers have also shown interest in the Klitschko brothers. Thus, Vitali and Wladimir have appeared in the Hollywood Blockbuster „Ocean’s Eleven“ next to George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts.
Wladimir Klitschko also acted next to Yvonne Catterfeld in Til Schweiger’s latest film,“Keinohrhasen“.
