Being arguably the top athlete in the world in your sport has plenty of advantages, and that is something that Wladimir Klitschko knows all about, as he has been arguably the best heavyweight boxer in the world for more than a decade.

Now, it turns out that he may be getting even better. According to E! Online, Klitschko's fiancée, actress Hayden Panettiere, says that she thinks her pugilist beau will be even more motivated in the ring since the couple had a child together four months ago (Klitschko's next fight is on Saturday against Bryan Jennings at Madison Square Garden).

When asked if he looked different in the ring now, Panettiere replied, "It is. You have much more of a connection, you know? When you're with somebody, I feel like it's great when you have your own life, they have their own life, and you meet gracefully in between. But then the longer you know them, the more you're attached to them, and then something that bonds you is a child. When you have a child together, there's nothing that connects you like that forever-for better or for worse!"

Panettiere went on to say that she occasionally has the urge to jump in the ring as she watches Klitschko take hits, but she knows that he is more than capable of handling himself.

"It is my urge," she said. "But you know what? I've learned that none of my reactions can change what's going to happen in the ring...I have all the faith in the world in him, and in fact, I think being a father has made him even more aggressive and dangerous."
