Former world champion Wladimir Klitschko told about the conditions under which fans of boxing can see him again in the ring.

"The heart of a warrior is not lost. This is basically impossible. You can not lose this feeling.. You just choose a different place and other rules. I will not say that they are simpler or harder. Just others. Now I miss my team. All were concentrated on one goal and performed their work very qualitatively.
I still have this. I train every day, because it's my habit. This is part of my relationship, which I did not postpone until just over a year after I left the sport. Every two weeks I spend sparring, boxing six rounds, and then calm down. So I say: "If I return to the ring, it's just for charity".
Separately, Klitschko also told about who believed in him most during his career. I was a loser among the Klitschko brothers. Very difficult time. Even my own brother said: "you need to finish with the sport". Everyone turned away from me. All. In addition to Bernd Bonthe, my manager, who has always been with me during my sports career. He believed in me, and I kept moving. I knew I could be better. I wanted to prove this.
It was my motivation. I knew that what happened in the last battles was not me. Criticism then tempered me. I became steel, "- quotes the words of Klitschko T-online. de.
Most recently it was noted that Klitschko still will enter the ring to meet with Joshua. True, this will happen only in the context of preparing the British for a duel with the Russian Alexander Povetkin.
