Wladimir Klitschko and Tyson Fury still have no rematch date, but the Ukrainian gold medalist is not ready to give up on what could come after that fight, a possible return to the Olympics.
If it’s feasible, Klitschko will look into fighting at the Rio Olympics in August after the Fury fight, one of his representatives said, confirming German media reports in the last week.
Right now, Klitschko is not eligible for the Olympics. Even if star professional boxers are made eligible, as the sport’s international governing body has discussed, waiting until after fighting Fury later this spring (or even early summer) could be too late to be selected for the Rio Games.
