“I’m ready”: Klitschko confirms comeback plans

Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The next spectacular comeback in the sporting world is probably imminent. Boxing icon Wladimir Klitschko has confirmed that there are plans to do so. According to the Ukrainian, boxing has always been "a tool for achieving goals". The sport had turned him into a fighter.
"It means I'm always ready to overcome challenges. Whether in the ring, in life or on the front line," says the 48-year-old. There had already been speculation about a return recently, but Klitschko did not want to comment on this. The comeback was probably instigated by influential Saudi businessman Turki Al-Sheikh.
Will there be a big rematch?
The Ukrainian did not comment on possible opponents. However, the name Tyson Fury is being bandied about. For Klitschko, this would be a chance for revenge. After all, he had to relinquish three world championship belts after his defeat to the Briton in 2015.
The last time Klitschko was in the boxing ring was in 2017. Should he actually return and fight, he would have the chance to replace legend George Foreman as the oldest heavyweight champion.
