Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko has added 3.62 million hryvnias to his fortune thanks to a video game. He received the money for participating in the creation of the boxing simulator Undisputed, which became the first large-scale project in this genre in over a decade, according to his declaration, updated on March 31.
The revenue came from the British company Steel City Interactive, which created Undisputed. According to the UK Companies House register, the company was founded in 2020 by three brothers — Asif, Asad and Arshid Habib.
Vitaliy Klitschko indicated in his declaration that he received UAH 1.54 million in May 2024, and another UAH 2.08 million in February 2025. These amounts are indicated as royalties, that is, remuneration for the use of his name or image.
As stated on the game's official website, Undisputed was created in close collaboration with real boxers, organizations, and brands to achieve maximum authenticity. Oleksandr Usyk and Vasyl Lomachenko are already playable in the game, and Klitschko, although not yet available for selection, is on the list of fighters that will appear in future updates.
And although gamers cannot yet take Vitali Klitschko to the virtual ring, the mayor himself has already made a real profit.
This is not the only high-profile news related to the mayor of Kyiv. As Glavkom reported earlier, in 2023 Klitschko declared luxury real estate in Germany - a house in Hamburg with an area of 750 sq m, worth over 227 million hryvnias. This luxury real estate came to him in the form of debt repayment from the company Maximum I LLC, which belongs to his brother Wladimir Klitschko.
