Former world heavyweight boxing champion Wladimir Klitschko and his family were caught in early-morning sea drama after their luxury yacht caught fire.
Firefighters rushed to the stricken vessel off the coast of Mallorca as it drifted in the dead of night after a fire broke out in the engine room on Sunday night.
The 42-year-old, his family and crew all escaped unharmed from the ordeal but the Ukrainian this morning posted on his Twitter site: 'Be careful what you wish for: fate took my wish for "some #adrenalin" a bit too literally and our boat-trip on Sunday night ended up in our boat #igniting and family & friends being evacuated by coast guard and fire rescue-team. No worries: we are all fine!'
Dramatic video showed the rescue in pitch darkness and the yacht covered in fire-fighting foam.
