Berlin - World heavyweight boxing champion Wladimir Klitschko said his favourite way to relax is by pressing his shirts and he regularly borrows an ironing board at hotels when travelling to unwind with an iron.

"I've never revealed this before, but the ironing board is the place I relax," he told Bild newspaper on Wednesday, four days after beating American Chris Byrd for the International Boxing Federation heavyweight championship.

"I love to iron," the 30-year-old Ukrainian added.

"The first thing I do whenever I get to a hotel is borrow an iron. No one else ever touches my shirts."

Klitschko also said men should not worry about their looks.
