James Ali Bashir, former coach of world boxing legend Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko, said that his ex-ward will return to the ring and win one of the heavyweight belts again..

VLADIMIR KLICHKO - 45: HOW THE FAMOUS CHAMPION LIVES " Everyone laughed at me, and now what? Now no one laughs anymore. I know Wladimir Klitschko. I have a strong relationship with him.. I know him well.

Over the past years, I have constantly come to Ukraine, even after Vladimir allegedly left the sport.. I saw him train. I asked myself, if he is not going to perform, why is he training like this? But he trains, trains, and trains.

And I said to myself - this guy will box again. I talked about it in the USA. Everybody laughed, but now nobody laughs.

I think Vladimir will break George Foreman's record and become the oldest heavyweight champion in history.. I'm sure he'll come back. He will come back and beat any of the three big guys - Joshua, Fury and Wilder "

Vladimir himself also fuels rumors about his return to the ring, not only in words, but also in the phenomenal form in which he is and which he shares on Instagram:.

Vladimir celebrated his 45th birthday on March 25, 2021. Foreman won the WBA and IBF world titles at the age of 45 years and 9 months. Thus, in order to break the American's record, the Ukrainian will need to return to the ring no earlier than December 2021..

In the professional ring, Vladimir spent 69 fights, scored 64 victories (54 - ahead of schedule) and suffered 5 defeats. He has held WBO, IBF, IBO and WBA heavyweight championship belts.

In 2017, Klitschko Jr. retired after being knocked out by Anthony Joshua. At the end of 2020, Vladimir was included in the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

Last year it became known that the Ukrainian is helping the legendary American Evander Holyfield with the return to the ring..
