Vitali Klitschko - Boxer and Ukrainian Opposition MP

Stephen Sackur talks to world heavyweight boxing champion and Ukrainian opposition MP Vitali Klitschko. Does he have what it takes to win in Ukraine's turbulent political arena?

He is tough, wealthy and ambitious but does he have what it takes to win in Ukraine's turbulent political arena?
