Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko (46) thinks about returning to the boxing ring | Sport

“If I’m in good shape, then why not,” Klitschko said. “I still exercise every day. That record of Foreman does motivate me. At the moment there is no comeback planned at all, but a one-off return to break that record is something I like. It would be a nice spectacle. But first that terrible war must be over. When there is peace again in Ukraine, we will talk again.”

Foreman himself prefers to keep his record. “Why should he box one more time,” Foreman previously advised his Ukrainian colleague against a comeback. “If he really needs the money, he should do it. But if he has his financial affairs in order, I would advise him not to box anymore.”

Klitschko ended his career in the summer of 2017 after 64 wins, 53 of them by KO, and five defeats. He was world heavyweight champion in the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO. Titles he lost in November 2015 to Briton Tyson Fury, who announced his retirement last weekend. After that, “Dr. Steelhammer’ also has a fight against Briton Anthony Joshua. Vladimir Klitschko is the younger brother of ‘Dr Ironfist’ Vitali Klitschko, former WBC world champion and currently mayor of Kiev.
