Vitali Klitschko has vacated his world heavyweight
title to enable him concentrate on politics.
The fighter told correspondents that
he will not fight again as he concentrates on Ukrainian politics and his role
as an opposition leader.
The World
Boxing Council yesterday proclaimed Klitschko a "Champion Emeritus",
a move that would allow him to challenge the new champion directly should he
wish to resume his career.
But
Klitschko says he could not imagine at all something like that happening in the
near future. The 42-year-old Klitschko has a 45-2 record with 41 knockouts.
His younger brother Wladimir holds the other
significant heavyweight belts.
