“My heart is at peace as I pass the torch to Anthony Joshua the next generation. Good luck little bro, I’m proud of you,” wrote Klitschko.
Klitschko announced his retirement after a lengthy period of staying silent after his final performance against Anthony Joshua. The boxing world expected him to accept the rematch against Joshua and fight in Las Vegas this November but Klitschko respectfully declined the offer.
Joshua will now face IBF mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev later this year.
