Berlin - The management of world heavyweight champions Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko on Wednesday dismissed reports of a possible future bout against Britain's 48-year-old ex-champion Lennox Lewis.
"That's absurd, it's garbage. We don't give something like that any thought," Klitschko's manager Bernd Boente told SID, an AFP subsidiary.
British newspaper the Daily Mail reported that Lewis, who retired in 2003, is prepared to climb back into the ring to face either Klitschko brother for US $100 million dollars (74m euros).
Lewis is reported to have told Russian promoters he is prepared to come back to fight either Klitschko for the biggest purse in boxing history.
"I said at the time that it will take US$50million to get me out of my pajamas but now I have to consider the value of my legacy of having retired as undisputed champion. That will cost them $100million," Lewis told the Daily Mail.
