Klitschko is negotiating a return to the ring
Former world champion Vladimir Klitschko is negotiating a possible return to the professional ring and a fight against Daniel Dubois. Vladimir stated that he is ready to fight for the title against Dubois in Saudi Arabia on February 22. However, after Jake Paul's victory over Mike Tyson, the negotiations were halted. The fight organizers decided not to take risks, as happened with Tyson, and the IBF did not allow this fight to take place. Klitschko dreams of becoming the oldest world champion in boxing, and this record belongs to George Foreman. Vladimir retired after losing to Anthony Joshua. It was also reported that Joseph Parker may become Dubois' next opponent.
