Ukrainian heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko, who officially announced the end of his boxing career on Aug. 3, was known for his bright early victories, as well as for the "safe" manner of fighting the victories with the decisions of the judges.

Today, after three months of reflection - do he need a rematch with champion Anthony Joshua, Klitschko published in social networks a video recording of an appeal to the fans, in which he admitted that he had already "planned a new career", not connected with the ring.

Vladimir spoke for 27 years and left the sport at the age of 41 years. During this time, he held the WBO world title titles (2000-2003, 2008-2015), IBF (2006-2015), IBO (2006-2015), WBA (2011-2015), as well as the authoritative The Ring magazine (2009-2015). Among the less significant titles Klitschko - the title of European champion in the version of EBU (1999) and North America according to NABF (2005).

In the last fight, held on April 29, Klitschko was ahead of time defeated by the young leader of the heavyweight division Joshua.

During the spectacular meeting, in the 6th round, the Ukrainian managed to send the British into a heavy knockdown, but he did not finish off the enemy for various reasons, eventually losing with a TKO in the 11th round.

The side of Joshua was hoping for a return fight on November 11 in Las Vegas.
