klitschko wary of 'real-life rocky balboa'
World heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko says Australia's Alex Leapai is "a real-life Rocky Balboa" who will be trying to take his head off in their April 27 title fight.
"Leapai is the underdog fighting an experienced champion," Klitschko said. "I can compare him to Rocky."
Leapai, who was born in Samoa, has a record of 30-4-3, with 24 KOs.
