Heavyweight WBC champion Vitali Klitschko and contender Kevin Johnson had an open workout in Bern hypermarket WestSide. Johnson was in uplifted mood, signed autographs, posed for pictures and even invited one of the fans to work with him in the ring. The fan turned out to be an 11-year old boy who showed pretty decent level of training.

Vitali Klitschko was met with applause from public. Vitali’s brother Wladimir commented on the workout session of his brother, explaining each move to the Swiss audience. At the end of the session Klitschko tested fans’ reaction with the help of a tennis ball.

“I’ve just watched Johnson’s training session, - told Wladimir Klitschko to his press-service. – He showed that he has good speed. This boxer deserves to hold his place in the top-10 of the most influential world boxing organizations. He is well prepared. On Saturday we’ll have a tough fight”.
