In Ukraine, boxing fights involving one of the Klitschko brothers regularly attracted between 10–20 million viewers; some of their fights generated even bigger viewership numbers. Vitali has been named multiple times among the 100 most influential people in Ukraine by Korrespondent: he was ranked 60th in 2006, 44th in 2010, 41st in 2011, 16th in 2012, 10th in 2013, 23rd in 2017 and 28th in 2019 (the ranking wasn't conducted between 2014 and 2016). In 2008, the brothers were ranked number 15 in Inter's list of the "100 Greatest Ukrainians" following a nation-wide poll that saw around 2.5 million people casting their votes.
