The big hitting South African believes that despite being 38 years old he is still one of the most dangerous heavyweights in the world. “I want to become world champion again”, said Sanders.
“At best I would like to fight Wladimir Klitschko right away,” added Sanders who holds a 39-3 record.
Sanders won the WBU heavyweight title in 1997 with a unanimous decision over Ross Puritty and defended the belt three times, against Bobby Czyz, Jorge Valdes and Alfred Cole before losing it to Hasim Rahman.

On the same event where Sanders makes his comeback on Jan. 15 at Bördelandhalle in Magdeburg flyweight world championesse Regina Halmich and European light heavyweight champion Thomas Ulrich will be highlighted.

He wants to fight Wladmir again? I wonder why. This is pathetic. This guy was beaten badly by Vitali, exposed for his shortcomings, and wants more? Some people will do anything for a buck.
