Heavyweight boxing legend Wladimir Klitschko is considering a return to the ring for a long-awaited rematch with Tyson Fury in 2025, potentially setting up one of the biggest fights in the sport’s history.
As you know, Kiltschko, also known as "Dr. Steel Hammer," and his brother Vitali dominated heavyweight boxing for over a decade. According to history, Wladimir held them for an incredible 4,382 days, which is the longest reign as heavyweight champion. This reign ended in 2015 when Fury defeated him to claim the world titles. Furthermore, in 2017, Klitschko faced Anthony Joshua in a legendary bout at Wembley but came up short before retiring from the sport.
It is notable that, Klitschko is seriously considering a return to the ring for one last title challenge, with the focus on breaking George Foreman’s record as the oldest heavyweight champion in history. At age 46, Foreman set the record in 1994 when he knocked out Michael Moorer, more than two decades after his first title win.
But Fury Has A fight!
On December 21, Fury is set to face Oleksandr Usyk in their highly anticipated rematch in Saudi Arabia, with Fury already hinting at a trilogy. Turki Alalshikh, a Saudi Royal adviser and a major figure in bringing marquee boxing events to the region, has now teased the idea of Klitschko returning for a “dream rematch” against Fury.
The result of Fury vs. Usyk is certainly something many are waiting for. However, there are many contenders like Dubois, Joshua, and a third person.
