Former Champion Wladimir Klitschko Retires From Boxing

Wladimir Klitschko is hanging up his gloves.

“I deliberately took a few weeks to make my decision, to make sure I had enough distance from the fight at Wembley Stadium. As an amateur and a professional boxer, I have achieved everything I dreamed of, and now I want to start my second career after sports,” Klitschko said in a statement.
“I would have never imagined that I would have such a long and incredibly successful boxing career. I’m very thankful for this. Thanks to everyone who has always supported me. Especially my family, my team and my many fans.”
Klitschko is a former WBA IBF and WBO heavyweight champion.
Best of luck to Klitschko in the next chapter of his life.
