Legendary Ukrainian boxer Wladimir Klitschko may return to the ring by the end of 2025. The former world champion according to the WBO, IBF, IBO, WBA and The Ring versions wants to break George Foreman's record by becoming the oldest world champion in boxing history.
This achievement currently belongs to American boxer George Foreman, who became the oldest world champion in history at the age of 45. Wladimir Klitschko, who is now 47, could break this record if he returns to the ring and wins the championship title in his category.
The topic of Klitschko's possible return to boxing has started to gain popularity again after a statement by journalist Turki Al-Sheikh, who recently announced the Ukrainian's comeback. According to him, Klitschko's return could take place by the end of 2025.
In particular, the famous boxing journalist Mike Coppinger also confirmed these rumors and even suggested a possible opponent for Klitschko. According to him, the fight could take place between Wladimir Klitschko and the winner of the fight between Daniel Dubois and Joseph Parker. This fight, according to Coppinger's predictions, could become a title fight for the IBF heavyweight title, which Dubois currently holds.
The fight between Dubois and Parker is scheduled for February 22, 2025 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Klitschko has already fought 69 professional fights, winning 64 of them, 54 by knockout. He has only failed to win 5 times.
