Hayden Panettiere spotted on boxing hottie Wladimir Klitschko’s lap


19 year-old Hayden Panettiere is really playing the field since she broke it off with her co-star Milo Ventimiglia. She was linked with Jesse McCartney, who seemed entirely her speed, but is also said to have been spotted on the lap of boxing great Wladimir Klitschko, 32, the current IBF and WBO heavyweight champion.

Just days after splitting from her Heroes co-star Milo Ventimiglia, Hayden Panettiere has found a new hero. On February 19, she was spotted with heavyweight boxer Wladmimir Klitschko at Guy’s in LA. “She was sitting on his lap and flirting with him all night,” an onlooker tells In Touch. “It seemed as if they had known each other for a while.”

[From In Touch, print edition, March 9, 2009]

I live in Germany and am married to a German guy who occasionally watches boxing and I have to admit I’ll watch with interest if either of the Kitschko brothers are competing. Wladimir and his older brother Vitali Kitschko both hold separate world heavyweight boxing titles and are pretty much national heroes and huge celebrities here in Germany. They were born in Kazakhstan) Russia but moved to Germany in their late teens and the press and people here love them.

The brothers have vowed never to fight each other, after a promise they made to their mom. Both of these guys have PhDs, Wladimir has a doctorate in sports science from Kiev University and Vitali, the WBC heavyweight champion, has a PhD in sports medicine and philosphy. I think older brother Vitali is the hotter one, but he’s been married since 1996 and is off the market.

Hayden Panettiere is not even close to being in Wladimir Klitschko’s league in my opinion. He needs to throw that small fry back and get a real woman. She seems ok for a young starlet, but she’s too young for him.

  1. The Klitschkos were born in Kyrgyzstan and,I think, Kazakhstan,raised in the Ukraine and came to Germany in their twenties.

    I think it’s hot they have their PhDs. =)
    In that top picture, I swore it was Lauren Conrad.

  3. seriously dude says:

    is she trying to be the next Paris? If she’s not someone needs to let her know she is on her way.

  4. AlaskaJoey says:

    Guys, when your girlfriend is young enough to be doing acne medicine commericals, there’s your sign she’s too young for you (unless you’re also under 20). She really needs to meet some guys her own age.

  5. Annie says:

    PhDs get me all hot and bothered.

  6. overkill says:

    hahahahaha this guys a boxer?? he looks like the guy who cleans my car for a free banana 😛 … boxer?? ill murder him .. HAYDEN WAKE UP !!!!!! …

  7. becca says:

    Er…this guy reminds me of Milo. They’re around the same age, and both have dark hair around the same length and dark eyes. And there’s something very similar about their faces…

  8. Tia says:

    Ok, she sure does get around.. slow down ho

  9. Eclipse says:

    Please. How conveniently they earned their PhDs in the middle of their careers as fighters. These are PhD degrees, which were bought for $$$ in Russia… I’m not saying that these guys are entirely stupid, but they are definitely not a PhD type/material. Besides, they didn’t have time to earn these degrees. Find a single person, who can confirm that they visited any of the classes at the universities they got their PhDs from.

  10. RAN says:

    I had high hopes for this girl, I hope she doesn’t go down the tubes.

  11. Maritza says:

    Hayden is really creating quite a reputation for herself…

  12. JiLL says:

    She’s not even old enough to drink and shes dating someone over the age of 25. What is wrong with this girl! Once someone is 21 I don’t think the age thing is that big a deal but she’s basically still a teenager. This girl obviously has issues because she’s not dating guys remotely close to her own age!

  13. VoiceOverReason says:

    Uhm, overkill, no you won’t. You would be fighting vertically up from your back within seconds if he wanted to. Watch his KO of Calvin Brock how the firts 5 seconds would look like.

    Well, regarding her and being too young … if it’s legal she isn’t too young. He’s smart and old enough to tell a quick flirt from a long-term relationship, so if she isn’t that type of person for the latter, live NOW and take it while it lasts. Maybe it turns out she isn’t that bad and just had the wrong partners. If not, it was definetly worth the try and for sure didn’t hurt to be with a cheerleader for a couple of weeks …

    …we studied together

    Dont you hate when people talk about things they have no clue about. The Klitschko brothers eanred their degrees at the University of Kiev. They are very intelligent and athletically skilled heavy boxers. Currently they are dominating the division. Working at a car wash, what an idiot. This is 2009, your redneck grandfather may have made jokes like that back in the 50’s when people were ignorant.

    Overkill,

    Vladimir Klitschko has been heavyweight champion for many years now. He has knocked out over 40 professional boxers anyone of which could beat you and spank you like a 5 year old redheaded stepchild. If he wanted to he could make you his bitch. He was Olympic gold medalist before turning pro. He is a highly educated phd from the top Ukrainian University. He likes women. Be happy that he’s with Hayden. If he wasn’t and he wanted to he’d take your woman.

  18. Tony_Fryklund says:

    Overkill,

    Haha. I saw a big, fat 6’6 guy pick a fight in a bar with a 5’8 165lb boxer this weekend.

    You remind me of him. Everyone thinks they can fight until they get hit by a guy who really does. This boxer wasn’t even a pro, just a decent local amateur.

    Floored the big talker in seconds. Wasn’t even a competition. Don’t stop dreaming.

  19. drita says:

    people ,firstable think and than give a coment,dont blame a vladimir he didnt do nothing wrong ,what is the point tjhe lady loves him and that,s is a legaly

  20. Viola says:

    Overkill, for a bananna he can kick your ass in a split of a second, believe me, go watch some fights of his before running your mouth.

  21. HELLGROM says:

    Overkiel,
    You are lucky we Ukranian people have good humor.We like make joke like you but you joke in our face and we break you like plastic toy yes.

  22. Adam Smith says:

    to overkill: Wladimir Klitschko is a heavyweight champion that stands at about 6 foot 5 and has one of the highest KO ratios in history.
    to other haters: Wladimir and Vitali have both completed universities in Ukraine and the people of Ukraine will be able to easily verify this, why do you think the older brother became a politician, he is clearly an educated athlete and just because you couldn’t do the same does not give you the right to bash.

    In terms of the girl I am not sure it will last because of the age difference, but she does look pretty and if Wlad decides to keep her, props for him.

  23. llloo says:

    She is a lucky one, I would die to be with him

  24. Koshe says:

    “hahahahaha this guys a boxer?? he looks like the guy who cleans my car for a free banana 😛 … boxer?? ill murder him .. HAYDEN WAKE UP !!!!!! …”

    The force of his punch is usually compared to the force with which a piano hits the ground falling from a ten story building.

  25. Peter North says:

    Props to the best heavyweight of all-time and his little hottie. By the way, pornstar John Strong (real name Yuri Boroda) is also from the Ukraine and is a naturalized US citizen. JS is now dating, among others, actress-aspiring porn slut Meghan Fox. Max Hardcore is in prison and receiving love letters from Patriot quarterback Tom Brady’s wife Giselle. Giselle has been seeing Peter North behind his back and wants Max to hammer the hell outta some squealin’ veal.

  26. Dan says:

    She’s the most gorgeous girl on the planet, with the sexiest legs. He is very lucky considering the only reason he is a champion is as there is nobody good to fight (Haye and an ancient Holyfield)! Lewis, Tyson, Holyfield would all have whupped him in their prime. I bet even Bowe or Witherspoon would neither Klitscko can fight very well they are slow and clumsy and have awful ringcraft (just watch them on YT compared them to Lewis or Tyson — watch either of them fighting Bruno and see their precision and movement). If there were real fighters out there, he wouldn’t be champ and wouldn’t have the hottest girl alive who is Hayden. Those legs. She could do much better than him.

  27. Oksana says:

    Guys, you’re speaking about PhDs bought for $$$ in Russia but Kiev University (see the artile) is not in Russia, it’s in Ukraine:) These are different countries.
    How can you comment this without knowing so simple geography? I wonder…

  28. Damn Wladimir, very lucky man. She’s soooooooooo hot! I think I need to learn to box and be a champion to hook on pretty hot girls like Hayden hehehe

  29. bobi says:

    i love you hayden panettiere my going to new york for you ilove youuu <3

  30. Yeah says:

    First, Wlad is one of the top heavyweights of all time. He and his brother are without question the two top fighters on the planet today. Meaning, if aliens came to earth and the fate of the planet was to be decided by one intergalactic boxing match, there would be only once cell phone ringing – and it would be in Wlad’s pocket. He and his brother are also fluent in 4 languages, ranked chess players, and both hold PhD – earned – not bought. Both have hero status in Germany, have won countless civilian awards, supported the orange revolution in the Ukraine, are active in politics, have donated millions to charity, are UNESCO ambassadors, and have built and funded schools in several African villages. Oh…and for the moron who thinks he would last 20 seconds with Wlad or Vitali…Lennox Lewis couldn’t outbox Vitali. You could put any UFC champion in a boxing ring with Wlad and the fight would be over in under a minute…two at the furthest…good luck to you.

  31. Yeah says:

    As for Hayden…she is a cute lil 20 year old…most short girls are cute when they are 20…and popular with everyone because they are one size fits all…short guys or tall guys. Check back with her when she is 35 and has another 40 lbs on her lil tiny frame. Cute 20 year olds are a commodity…every girl (who isn’t morbidly fat) is cute at 20..check back in a few years…she has a nice ass but Wlad will tire of the drama and immaturity before long.
