The relevant statement of the athlete is published on his official website.

In particular, Klitschko admitted that it was time to move on to the next chapter of his life. Thus, the expected rematch against world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua will no longer be.

"I'm doing this, yes, with some excitement, but I'm absolutely ready for a new test. I expect and I hope that my next career, which I planned and already started several years ago, will at least be as successful as the previous one, "Klitschko said in a video message.

It should be noted that in April Joshua defended the IBF title and won the IBO and WBA belts.

In turn, Klitschko lost a technical knockout.

Nevertheless, Klitschko in the professional ring won 64 wins (53 - by knockout) with five defeats (4 - by knockout). Also, the Ukrainian brought his national team the gold medal of the 1996 Olympics in the weight category over 91 kg.

Recall, as previously reported "URA-Inform", the world champion in the WBA version, IBF, IBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua told about what is missing Vladimir Klitschko during the fight.
