Former boxer Vitali Klitschko, 41...and his party are being touted as the up and comers in tomorrow's parliamentary elections...the first since 2010.
Opinion polls show his new UDAR/Punch party scoring big...in 3rd place...and only slightly trailing jailed former PM Yulia Tymoshenko's opposition party.
Klitschko...a boxer with a PhD...served in Kyiv's city council...and says he has a lot to lose.
Yulia hopes that Klitschko's supporters will join her party to field a nearly 40% opposition to President Yanukovych's parliamentary majority.
ALSO : Klitschko says corruption is Ukraine's biggest problem.
'It even costs you money to die. You have to bribe your way into finding a place in a cemetery now.'
