He has held both offices since June 2014. Klitschko is the leader of the Petro Poroshenko Bloc and a former Member of the Ukrainian Parliament.〔〔〔〔("You Scratch My Back, and I’ll Scratch Yours" ), ''The Ukrainian Week'' (26 September 2012)〕〔(Q&A:Ukrainian parliamentary election ), BBC News (23 October 2012)〕〔(Ukraine election:President Yanukovych party claims win ), BBC News (29 October 2012)〕〔("Parties spend over Hr 600 million on elections, according to report" ), ''Kyiv Post'' (16 November 2012)〕 He is the former WBC, WBO and ''The Ring'' magazine heavyweight champion and has been conferred as Champion Emeritus by the WBC. Klitschko became actively involved in Ukrainian politics in 2005 and combined this with his professional boxing career until his departure from boxing mid-December 2013.〔〔〔Furman, Luke (25 December 2013) (Vitali Klitschko Won't Rule Out Another Ring Return – Boxing News ). Boxingscene.com. Retrieved 10 July 2014.〕 Klitschko was the first professional boxing world champion to hold a PhD degree. Klitschko was known for his powerful punches and durable chin. With an 87.23% knockout percentage rate, he holds the second best knockout-to-fight ratio of any champion in heavyweight boxing history, after Rocky Marciano's 87.76% and is the 8th longest reigning heavyweight champion of all time. He has never been knocked down in any professional boxing bout. His two losses have come via a shoulder injury during a fight and a deep cut below his eye, which were recorded as RTD and TKO losses. In both fights, however, he was leading on the scorecards. His power and his possession of a doctorate have led to his nickname, Dr. Ironfist. Klitschko formally began his political career in 2006 when he placed second in the Kiev mayoral race. In 2010 Klitschko founded the party Ukrainian Democratic Alliance for Reform (UDAR) and was elected into parliament for this party in 2012.
