Wladimir Klitschko reconsiders boxing comeback as he eyes heavyweight record

Wladimir Klitschko has reportedly reconsidered his retirement from boxing. The former heavyweight champion, who stepped away in 2017, is now said to be "seriously considering" a comeback after recent discussions with Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh. Previously, Klitschko stated his focus was on defending Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict, not boxing. However, a new report suggests he may be close to committing to a fight in 2025, potentially aiming to become the oldest heavyweight champion. Klitschko, who turns 49 next month, is currently the third oldest heavyweight champion. He could face Oleksandr Usyk, the current champion, if plans align following an upcoming fight between Daniel Dubois and Joseph Parker.
