Wladimir Klitschko is seriously considering ending his seven-year retirement.

The Ring has learned that the former heavyweight champion is all but completely committed to returning to the ring for a high-profile fight at some point in 2025. Klitschko, who will turn 49 on March 25, hasn’t boxed since then-unbeaten Anthony Joshua stopped the native Ukrainian in the 11th round of their epically entertaining slugfest in April 2017 at a sold-out Wembley Stadium in London.

Joshua-Klitschko was voted “Fight of the Year” by The Ring for 2017.

It wasn’t clear by the time this story was posted Saturday which heavyweight Klitschko would target for his comeback bout.

Turki Alalshikh, head of Riyadh Season and owner of The Ring, asked Klitschko about ending his retirement during the WBC’s annual convention in December in Hamburg, Germany. Klitschko hasn’t commented publicly about his plans outside of strongly supporting Ukraine in his home country’s war with Russia.

Also last December, during an interview with the Ariel X Ade Show, Alalshikh expressed his 'dream' of seeing Klitschko return to the ring and attempt to become the oldest fighter in boxing history to capture a heavyweight title.

"To give [Klitschko] the chance. This is perfect. Of course, he won’t fight Usyk if he wins [against Tyson Fury] because they’re two heroes from Ukraine [and] will not fight each other. This is the dream," Alalshikh explained.

Hall of Famer George Foreman currently holds the record as the oldest heavyweight to win a world title - at age 45 - when he scored a stunning knockout of Michael Moorer in 1994.

The 6-foot-6, 245-pound Klitschko (64-5, 53 KOs) is a two-time heavyweight champion who held the IBF belt for 9½ years – from April 2006 until November 2015 – during his second reign. He captured the Ring Magazine world title in 2009.

Tyson Fury upset Klitschko by unanimous decision in November 2015 to win the Ring, IBF, IBO, WBA and WBO titles from him at ESPRIT Arena in Dusseldorf, Germany.

Klitschko’s immediate rematch with Fury was scrapped when Fury temporarily retired in October 2016 due to depression and drug use. It was never rescheduled, which led to Klitschko challenging England’s Joshua, who was 27 at that time, before an enormous crowd of 90,000.

Klitschko, then 41, got up from a fifth-round knockdown to drop Joshua in the sixth round. Joshua recovered as well and came back to drop Klitschko twice more in the 11th round, when referee David Fields halted the contest.

A super heavyweight gold medalist at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Klitschko made his pro debut in November 1996. “Dr. Steelhammer” won his first world title, the WBO belt, with a unanimous decision over Chris Byrd in October 2000.
