So now Wladimir Klitschko want to threat boxing like a part time sport and disrespect the fighters and all, well I hope he does return without putting in the real work and get his ass kicked too!

Wlad was finished when he fought Joshua , dropped him and missed with almost every punch in an attempt to finish him , then gassed , that was eight years ago . Eight years later at nearly 50 he wants to fight for the title , sit down Wlad.

Breaking George Foreman's age record is a nice and very obvious narrative.
Wlad is only coming back at 49 because the Saudis are paying him a huge purse.
I still can't understand why Wlad wants to take this extreme health risk. He has certainly earned more than enough in his long career.

So Wlad can box again but cannot go to the frontlines to fight for his country? Why are they sending all the young Ukranians to fight but Wlad/Loma get a pass?

He needs to stay retired before he get his ass whooped. It sounds to me that he may be running short on funds.
He needs to comeback in order to make some more money.

Unfortunately and contrary to popular belief; It is the only reason why former champions come out of retirement. They are typically broke and need the money.

Well Daniel just dropped out so now this makes sense.......

[Stuntman Mike]

If Wladimir gets in there as a replacement for Dubois id be excited about this card again

Would be a belter of a win for Wlad is he just turns up and says "hold my beer" to Turki and splatters Parker

[Stuntman Mike]

Wladimir if he still has his depth perception could control Parker easily even at 50

That’s not what he said. This is a one time thing. Attempting to be the oldest HW in history by fighting a perceived weak belt holder.
I mean Floyd Mayweather could unretire to fight Mario Barrios for a WW belt and become the oldest WW champion in the history of boxing. It doesn’t mean he’s disrespecting the sport of boxing,

Do you think Barrios can beat a 48 year old Floyd?
