Tyson Fury and Wladimir Klitschko, two heavyweight legends, may have a chance to meet again in the boxing ring next year. Klitschko, also known as 'Dr Steel Hammer', has announced his potential return from retirement with the intention of facing Fury in a monumental rematch. For over a decade, Klitschko and his brother Vitali dominated the sport, with Wladimir holding the record for the longest reign as heavyweight champion at a remarkable 4,382 days.
However, this era of dominance came to an end in 2015 when Fury impressively defeated Klitschko and claimed his world titles. Two years later, Klitschko lost to Anthony Joshua in a thrilling match at Wembley before officially retiring from the sport. Recent reports have revealed that Klitschko is giving serious consideration to returning to the ring, with the goal of becoming the oldest heavyweight champion in history - a title currently held by George Foreman.
Fury, on the other hand, is focused on his upcoming rematch with Oleksandr Usyk, set to take place in Saudi Arabia on December 21st. However, the possibility of a third fight between Fury and Klitschko has been teased by Turki Alalshikh, a Saudi Royal adviser and the new power broker in boxing. Alalshikh has expressed his desire to see Klitschko return to the ring for a 'dream rematch' against Fury.
In a recent interview, Alalshikh shared his thoughts on the potential rematch, stating that many people are eagerly waiting for the result of Fury vs Usyk. He also mentioned other potential opponents for Fury, such as Dubois and Joshua, but emphasized that Klitschko is the dream match for many fans. He believes that this fight would not only be a chance for Klitschko to become the oldest heavyweight champion, but also a dream come true for boxing enthusiasts who have been waiting to see the epic 2015 rematch between Fury and Klitschko.
Although there were talks about Klitschko potentially facing Dubois for the IBF title in February, nothing has been confirmed yet. Instead, Dubois will be defending his title against Joseph Parker on a highly anticipated card in February. But the possibility of a Fury vs Klitschko rematch still remains, and fans can't help but wonder if they will get to witness this epic showdown once again.
