It looks like former boxing heavyweight king Wladimir Klitschko is reportedly eying a comeback.

Klitschko hasn’t laced up his gloves since his 2017 defeat to Anthony Joshua. Prior to that, Klitschko suffered his first loss in over a decade to Tyson Fury. With the defeat to Fury, Klitschko lost the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, IBO, The Ring, and lineal heavyweight championships. Fury bested the Russian after 12 rounds via unanimous decision.

After over a year off, Klitschko returned in attempt to regain his heavyweight straps. This time, however, he found himself against new heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. He shared the ring with the talented Englishman for 11 rounds before being stopped by Joshua. However, it was a highly-competitive contest in which Klitschko earned a knockdown at one point.

Klitschko attempted to earn a rematch with Joshua after his loss, but a deal was never able to be made. As a result, Klitschko ultimately decided to retire from fighting. But after seeing the resurgence in the heavyweight division thanks to the likes of Joshua, Fury, and Deontay Wilder, the 43-years-old is eager to return.

Potential Three Fights

According to a report from Mike Coppinger of FOX Sports, Klitschko was discussing a three-fight deal with the DAZN streaming service. The fights included a tune-up fight, and rematches against Fury and Joshua (in that order):

“Sources: Former heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko was discussing a three-fight deal with DAZN that would end his retirement. First fight would be a tune-up, followed by rematches with Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, in that order”

However, Klitschko reportedly told Sports Illustrated that is not true, and he’s instead negotiating a fight with Dillian Whyte. Klitschko initially didn’t have an interest in fighting Whyte, but that has all changed since his eagerness to return to boxing has ramped up:

“Klitschko told @SIChrisMannix it wasn’t true that he would discussing a fight with Dillian Whyte. He in fact wasn’t interested in boxing Whyte, but he’s keen on a comeback”

Tyson Fury has a hilarious message for Deontay Wilder ahead of their likely rematch.

Since their meeting last month, Fury has been keeping in shape for the inevitable rematch between himself and “The Bronze Bomber.” However, in a recent interview with BT Sport, Fury issued out a hilarious message for his familiar foe:

“I’m just maintaining my fitness really, I’m [as] fit now as I was then, same kind of thing, I’m ready to fight. Wilder, let’s get the fight made, don’t s*** yourself now mate!”

Fury and Wilder put on a fight that boxing fans will remember for years to come. While many believe the Englishman got the better of the heavy-handed slugger in terms of technicality, Wilder scored the only two knockdowns of the fight. In the 12th round, Wilder knocked Fury to the canvas with a shot that could’ve been ruled a knockdown. Somehow, Fury got to his feet and was able to finish the fight.

When the final bell rang, the fight went to the judges’ scorecards. Many were upset with the result, but the history books will read the bout ended in a Split Decision Draw. For now, Wilder will hang on to the WBC heavyweight strap. But it seems inevitable that they will meet once again in the first quarter of 2019.

WBC heavyweight boxing champion Deontay Wilder (40-0-1, 39 KOs) was in attendance for this past weekend’s (Sat. December 22, 2018) fight between Jermell Charlo (31-1, 15 KOs) and Tony Harrison (28-2, 15 KOs).

For those of you who missed it, Charlo dropped his WBC light-middleweight championship to Harrison in a controversial unanimous decision. It was the first defeat of Charlo’s career. Maintaining an undefeated record in boxing is of high importance to the sport’s top stars. Floyd “Money” Mayweather (50-0, 27 KOs) made a career off his undefeated record, which currently sits at a perfect 50-0.

Wilder also holds an undefeated record for the time being, but he came very close to suffering his first defeat earlier this month (Sat. December 1, 2018). “The Bronze Bomber” shared the ring with Tyson Fury (27-0-1, 19 KOs) inside Los Angeles’ Staples Center, defending his WBC heavyweight crown against the Englishman. The pair went all 12 rounds in a fight that boxing fans will remember for quite some time.

Despite many believing Fury took the fight in terms of technicality, Wilder scored the only two knockdowns of the entire contest. His latter, in the 12th round, could’ve arguably been ruled a knockout. However, after going the distance, the judges’ scorecards presented a split decision draw. Speaking to Boxing Scene recently, Wilder spoke on the possability of suffering the first loss of his boxing career.

The thought doesn’t seem to bother Wilder as most might think, as the American slugger believes losses can truly humble a fighter, and push them to comeback even stronger:

“A loss or a draw can be a great thing but it all depends on where your minds at.,” Wilder said. “It can make you honest and humble. That’s how you become a 3-time 4-time champion.

“A lot of people want to see how you fall and get back up. That’s what people turn into see how you get back up.”

Wilder has solidified himself in boxing heavyweight history with the amazing highlight reel of knockouts he has amassed over his career. While retiring with an undefeated record would be nice for any fighter, that’s not the reason Wilder is in the fight game. Rather than maintaining a spotless record, Wilder simply wants to be remembered as the best to ever lace up a pair of gloves in the heavyweight division:

“I’m not worried about an undefeated record,” said Wilder. “If I happen to lose, then so be it, watch my comeback and see how I get back. Blessings to all those that get in the ring, we put our life on the line for people’s entertainment.”
