Wladimir Klitschko refuses to rule out possible return to the ring

Former unified heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko has refused to rule out a possible return to the ring.

The 48-year-old Klitschko, who last boxed in 2017, won 64 bouts and lost five – including his last two, to Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury.

Klitschko wrote on social media on Thursday, where he neither denied or confirmed that he will return in the ring.

“There are a lot of rumours these days about a possible comeback,” Klitschko wrote on X. “At the moment, I’m not concerned with my return to boxing, but the return of Russians to their country, outside Ukraine.

“And let me clear: I’ve never stopped training. So IF there was to be a fight, I’d be ready on the spot. But this weekend I’m just going to see a fight with a talented Ukrainian.

“Go Usyk! Slava Ukraini!”
