WBC heavyweight Vitaly Klitschko diagnosed with Parkinson's disease

WBC heavyweight champion Vitaly Klitschko is showing early symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

According to Rt.com Israeli neurosurgeon Jonathan Degen made such conclusion having watched the boxer in action. An expert in cognitive psychology and neuroscience, Degen advised the elder Klitschko to quit boxing immediately.

“Vitaly is a great champion, but he must take care of himself. I watch all his fights. And of course, I watched his clash against Tomasz Adamek on September 10. It was a total victory, but some dangerous symptoms in Vitaly’s behavior alerted me and I want to warn him. I think that 40 years is that age for Vitaly when it’s dangerous to continue boxing,” Degen told from-ua.com.
