Wladimir Klitschko plots boxing comeback?

Wladimir Klitschko wants to return to boxing, according to an interview with Business Insider.

The 43 year old former heavyweight champ stated “I still got it”. “Can I fight? Yes. Right now I keep my options open. There is going to be no comeback to come back and to break a jaw. It's a comeback to break a record."

"Is it appealing? I would say yeah, it's pretty cool."

"George Foreman did it. He was 45 I believe when he became champion, and it's a pretty cool statement."

The heavyweight division is heating up this winter, with the Joshua vs Ruiz Jr rematch this December, and Fury is expected to rematch Deontay Wilder early next year for the WBC belt. With Oleksandr Usyk recently stepping up to heavyweight and young Daniel Dubois impressing many against mediocre opponents, a return from the Ukranian giant would the division an almighty shake up.
