adminKlitschko has all but ruled out a rematch with David Haye, with his one-sided nature of his points victory in Germany meaning he has nothing more to prove against the Londoner, who lost his WBA title in the defeat.
The 35-year-old Ukrainian will now be at ringside to watch Chisora fight Tyson Fury at Wembley Arena on July 23.
And WBO, IBF and WBA champion Klitschko, who pulled out of two fights against Chisora due to injury, has described the Zimbabwe-born fighter as a “logical” challenger.
Chisora was confident of defeating Klitschko prior to their two cancelled bouts in December and April despite the obvious gulf in class and experience between the two.
Klitschko will wait to see the outcome of the all-British clash before deciding who he wants to take on next, but he did admit yesterday that a clash in London appeals to him.
“Vitali and I have concentrated mostly on fighting in a couple of countries but it would be challenging to fight maybe in the Ukraine or in London,” said Klitschko.
“”I came to London for a press conference a couple of weeks ago (before the Haye fight) and I received such warmness and awareness from the British fans, there were so many Klitschko fans here.
“It was amazing to see how much interest and support they gave me.
“It was pretty significant that we have a fan base here in the UK so it makes sense to fight in the UK as well.” Cristobal Arreola, Alexander Povetkin and Denis Boytsov are also potential opponents, but Klitschko hinted that the winner of Chisora-Fury would be his number one choice, especially after the two cancelled bouts against Chisora earlier this year.
Klitschko said: “I will be fighting again this year.
“We’ll see what happens in the next few weeks, who’s coming up and also the result of the Chisora-Fury fight
“Chisora would be one of the logical opponents for me.” – SkySports.
