Wladimir Klitschko Teases Potential Boxing Comeback
The former heavyweight champion, now 48, has hinted at a return to the ring but remains noncommittal, citing his focus on Ukraine's struggles.
- Wladimir Klitschko, retired since 2017, has reignited speculation of a return, stating he is 'ready for the next challenge' but has not officially confirmed a comeback.
- Klitschko clarified that his primary focus is on Ukraine's fight against Russian aggression, though he has maintained his physical fitness since retiring.
- Reports suggest potential matchups for Klitschko could include Tyson Fury, whom he lost to in 2015, or IBF champion Daniel Dubois, with a fight rumored for February 2025 in Saudi Arabia.
- Saudi businessman Turki Al-Sheikh, a key figure in global boxing, is believed to be facilitating discussions about Klitschko’s possible return.
- If Klitschko competes for and wins a heavyweight title, he could surpass George Foreman as the oldest champion in the division's history.
