KYIV/BERLIN — Former world heavyweight boxing champion and prominent Ukrainian public figure Wladimir Klitschko has reportedly filed legal documentation concerning the guardianship of his daughter, Kaya. While the proceedings are private in nature, the global prominence of Klitschko—who has spent recent years advocating internationally for Ukraine's defense and humanitarian aid—has catapulted the filing into the international headlines.
