The Wall Street Journal reports that former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani “is now trying to get his newest client, a heavyweight boxing champion, elected mayor of Kiev, the capital of Ukraine.” Giuliani’s consulting firm, Giuliani Partners LLC, has signed a contract with the candidate:
Wednesday, the former New York mayor will announce a contract for strategies to root out corruption with Vitali Klitschko, the retired boxer known as “Dr. Iron Fist” because of his doctorate in sports science from Kiev University. [...]
The announcement at Nasdaq in Times Square is meant to highlight Mr. Klitschko’s commitment to bringing U.S. businesses to Kiev, a goal that drove him to hire Giuliani Partners to root out corruption.
