Superstar boxer Wladimir Klitschko told CNN that he sold the gold medal he won at the 1996 Atlanta Games for $1 million, with the funds going to the Klitschko Brothers foundation -- a charity set up by him and his brother Vitali to help impoverished children in their home nation of Ukraine.

"We care about education and sport, that is the key in any children's life," Wladimir said.

"If they have knowledge, they can succeed with that in their adult life and sport gives them the rules -- how to respect your opponent, how to respect the rules.”

"It is always in life like that, you go down but you have to get up, and sport gives you this great lesson."
