The Joshua fight will NOT be Wlad's last fight (legally)...

I remember reading online, sometime a couple months before the Fury fight that Wlad had signed a 6 or 8 fight deal with the German TV station that airs his fights. Now I don't know for sure if they run things the same as they do over here, but if say Kovalev had 3 fights left of a 5 fight contract with HBO (or even Showtime) and decided he isn't gonna fulfill his contract obligations, then he would be sued BIG TIME would he not? I'm pretty sure this Joshua fight will only e the second fight of the contract for Wlad too so he should legally have a few more fights left in him after this one. But who knows, I may be completely wrong and Wlad might not have to see that contract through.

Bullshyt thread. It's not a slave contract. Fight contracts usually specify that the fighter may retire. If you retire and then come back, you're bound to the contract though so you either have to fight for them or buy your way out. You can't force someone to fight if they say they say they are no longer capable of doing it safely.

LOL, but f#cking this. Holy sh^t at some of you guys or B+ troll thread. It'd be completely f#cked up if guys were just losing brain cells left & right to fulfill a contract. Randomly boxing fans take contracts f#cking seriously lmfao. They say f#ck you boxer when a guy without any experience with this sorta legal sh^t sign a awful deal & they think Klitschko is fighting into his mid 40's just to fulfill a contract & avoid being sued. Although to be fair Klitschko could have intentions of fighting for the duration of the contract. The thing is we don't really know wtf he's thinking, we just have an expectation that its not likely he'll fulfill it based on where he's at in his career & where he'll be at if he loses to Joshua. Its not really that ridiculous of a thought. They could sue Wlad if he broke the contract. Thats what happens in the real world when your not posting on internet forums every second of your life. I doubt it would effect Wlad at all (getting sued) but it could still be a possibility. We don't really know the terms of the contract so I really don't know why you are so surprised. Of course their not gonna drag him in there if he doesn't wanna fight. I didn't say that. All I said is there could be some legal ramifications if he didn't fulfill it. (If he even has to in the first place.)

Pretty sure deals like this just mean he can't fight for another channel. If he retires he won't be forced to fight. http://cdn.hark.com/images/000/003/315/3315/original.jpg Ve haf vays of making hyu fight!

He signed a 5 fight deal with RTL before the Fury fight, so he's still got 4 fights left. Whether he'll fulfill it or not remains to be seen. http://www.espn.co.uk/boxing/story/_/id/13308487/wladimir-klitschko-extends-tv-deal-5-more-fights

Can anybody confirm this? Would indeed be very surprising if he fights 5 more times.
