In what has to be seen as worrisome for Anthony Joshua and his management, former heavyweight world champion Wladimir Klitschko is yet to decide whether he’ll be resuming his boxing.
It was thought that the 41-year-old Klitschko would have made a decision by now about returning to the ring following his 11th round knockout loss to Joshua earlier this year on April 29 at Wembley Stadium in London, England.
Wladimir had done well in the fight in knocking the 27-year-old Joshua down once in the 6th, and had performed at a high level throughout. Ultimately, Wladimir lost the fight more so because of his poor decision making rather than him being outclassed.
“Soon I will have to decide whether to step up to the return fight against Anthony Joshua or not. Everybody is speculating. I have not made a decision yet,” said Wladimir via Fight News.
Wladimir doesn’t seem to want it at this point. Wladimir doesn’t need money. For normal fighters, they fight for survival much of the time when they haven’t made a fortune in boxing. Wladimir is set for life with all the money that he’s made during his long 21-year pro career.
Wladimir hasn’t needed money in a long time. So if he chooses to continue fighting now, it’s just for the love of boxing instead of for a need of money. Wladimir might not have the incentive needed for him to continue fighting.
In contrast, Joshua is a young lion, and he’s still hungry despite him made a small fortune himself. Joshua is driven. Wladimir will need a lot of grit for him to beat a guy as young and as motivated as Joshua.
