Vladimir Klitschko must reject George Foreman Record “Gift”
Published
3 days agoon

Vladimir Klitschko turned 49 this week, just a few days after the legendary heavyweight george Foreman.
Reigning the longest [sanctioning body] World Heavyweight Champion can always break George’s “Massive” record. At the end of last year, the rumors about the return of Klitschko were common when the head of the Riyjad Turki season Alalshikh swore to enter and facilitate Ukrainian get a shot in defeating Benchmark Foreman.
Foreman won the highest division crown at 45, twenty years after he lost the world heavyweight title with Muhammad Ali. Texan created a seemingly indisputable record, which Klitschko considered a challenge.
Vladimir Klitschko eyes the oldest feat
In 2019, Klitschko mentioned his ambitions two years after he withdrew from boxing after a knockout technical defeat with Anthony Joshua at the Wembley stadium in England.
“I train regularly. Almost every day,” Klitschko said Fox Sports’s Fair Game. “I need it like breathing air, but I like to play sports.
“I still have it, but I don’t know how long I can keep this form. It must be something unusual. Amazing. But if I can become a 45-year-old, 46-year-old, and if I still have it.
“If I still had sparks in my stomach, I would think that I could beat the album and become the oldest heavyweight champion at this extraordinary moment.
“I mean that now there is only one guy, George Foreman. But by that time I will think about it.”
Breaking the George Foreman record
Pandemic and Russian war suspended these plans by 2022, when Kliczko turned 46 and qualified for achievement. Three years later, Klitschko is not closer to securing the ranking needed to compete for heavyweight belts.
“Dr. Steelhammer” lost the last two fights and has not been working for eight years. Each body sanctioning even thinking about the release of almost a 50-year-old cracks in the title would have to follow the rules.
Kliczko would have to win at least one balmy -up match before he questioned the title of IBF, WBA, WBO or WBC.
Even then it is not that straightforward. Sanctioning bodies have mandatory pretenders whom Klitschko cannot remove the finger click.
Agit Kabayel is a short-lived WBC line, and Joseph Parker has a short-lived WBO title. At the same time, Derek Chisora was named IBF in force with the World Boxing Association [WBA] Having Kubrat Pulev as a secondary owner of titles and Fabio Wardley as a claimant.
The weight class is a mess, and Daniel Dubois was handed out with an IBF belt without heading to a real master, Oleksandr Usyk.
Even in the face of Usyk in Ukraine, it is beyond the table, because the couple is forceful friends, and the situation in their native country remains too uncertain. Brother Kliczko, Vitali, the mayor of Kiev, has already outlined that boxing in this country is impossible.
Vladimir Klitschko and Usyk have always fought in Germany or Saudi Arabia, taking into account a special dispensation for a special one -off event.
However, legends do not seem to fight too much.
This only leaves Dubois, which can potentially be the one who will give Kliczko a chance. The winner will then face Derek Chisora in the second of the two international boxing federations [IBF] Fighting later this year.
If this scenario occurs, an advertisement should be announced in the next four weeks.
The gift must be rejected
Foreman’s record has survived time for over twenty years, and many in sport think that they deserve to be supported, unless someone fully earns him, which Klitschko does not have.
The deceased foreman returned to sport in 1987 and fought almost 30 times to get a crack at Michael Moorer in Las Vegas. His longest spell at that time was 19 months.
Klitschko is outside of eight years of this April and he would only have the opportunity thanks to a gift that he would have to reject to avoid the anger of boxing and media fans.
It would be a black eye of Foreman if any boxer, legendary or not, received his leg to challenge his extraordinary feat.
Meanwhile, the three -time heavyweight champion and the winner of the Golden Olympic medal paid their own tribute to Foreman after hearing his gloomy passage on Friday.
“Massive George” leaves a great void in a world boxing family and more, “said Klitschko.” He jumped all the values that make “sweet science” so unique.
“He wrote our most attractive pages and a great album. We will never forget him. Condolences for his family, friends and fans. Rip Champ.”
Such as George Foreman will never be noticeable again.

Terenka Crawford says that he does not think that the former welterweight master from Unified Three Belt Errol Spence Jr. He will reach Hall of Fame with winning wins in his 13-year professional CV.
Crawford says that Spence’s victory over the former welterweight champion, Kell Brook, occurred after the British warrior suffered an eye injury in his previous fight with Gennadiy Golovkin. Apart from Kell, Errola’s best win was against Shawn Porter in 2019. Crawford believes that with a tiny amount of Spence in terms of massive names and fighting only at the age of 147, it is not enough to get to Hall of Fame.
Irony
Interestingly, Crawford is imperative Destroy your best career win Because Spence is definitely winning No. 1 in its 17-year career. In addition to Errol, another good victory Buda was the 11-release of Novice Israil Madrimov, who had very little experience as a professional when Crawford fought in 2024. Madrimov was close to defeating him.
Some fans believe Crawford escaped from the 154-pound division After his close call with Madrimov, not wanting to mix him with the killers who would reveal him. Vergil Ortiz Jr. He did a much better job, defeating Madrimov than Crawford in his last victory. This fight has shown that a compatriot from Nebrask is not what fans think. It is an example of how scattered the weight classes are, which allows you to get around the matches like him in them in Vulture Esque A way, choosing a sensitive victim to create an artificial record.
Crawford’s wins over Brook and Porter cannot be assigned because they were both washed and previously beaten by Spence. As Erickson Lubin notes in the post on X, Crawford no “no”He also fought with anyone.“He is right. Looking at the CV Terence, there are no fighters at the elite level. Most of the best guys he fought with was either aged or never at the beginning.
Crawford record
-Errol Spence JR: Car failure after 2019, release of a 15-month exemption
– Ricky Burns: Stary
-Kell Brook: injuries and losses in Spence and GGG
– Shawn Porter: Beaten earlier through Spence and Stare
– Israil Madrimov: novice
– Yuriorkis Gamboa: Senior and fighting with two divisions above his natural class
“I could retire now and be in the Hall of Fame. He couldn’t,” said Crawford Pound-4 pound with the podcast of Kamaru and HenrySpeaking of Errol Spence Jr. “Everything I achieved is still trying to achieve. At the moment? How?” Terenki said, asked if he thinks that Spence would be in Galeria Sław.
“He fought in one division [welterweight]And he united. He had three [belts]. I say that they already called him a “bang”, right? He defeated Kell Brook due to an eye injury (against Gennadiy Golovkin). He defeated Shawn Porter. It’s a good win. I do not want to sound like I hated him, but I honestly do not know if he will reach the Gallery of Sław with distinction he did now – said Crawford.
No disrespect, but I don’t think Crawford really fights anyone. Introducing classes up and stopping 11/12 is what we should assign it for it https://t.co/UXFASSFHI5
