World heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko has at least five more fights in him, according to his manager.
Klitschko will defend his four major world titles against Briton Tyson Fury in October, less than a month before he turns 40.
It will be Klitschko’s 68th professional fight and his 28th world-title showdown but manager Bernd Boente has made it clear there is no chance of him calling it a day.
"We will announce the extension of our RTL contract, our German TV partners, for another five more fights," he told Sky Sports News HQ.
Klitschko will go head-to-head with Fury for the first time at the official announcement at ESPRIT Arena in Düsseldorf on Tuesday.
And Boente promised that even a man known for his press conference antics as much as Fury is not going to unsettle the WBO, IBF, IBO and WBA heavyweight champion.
"Fury has always said 'Wladimir will avoid me', but you'll see what happens," said Boente.
"Wladimir takes it easy. He has so many different types of opponents and they've all talked the fight up and some were calmer.
"But don't forget four years ago he had David Haye, who talked a huge fight, so let's see what Tyson brings to the table."
