Vitali Klitschko: If I hasn’t ended career I could beat Povetkin and Joshua

Former WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko commented on the defeat of Alexander Povetkin in the battle against Anthony Joshua.

“A good champion fight. I caught myself thinking, It’s a pity that I’ve already finished my career. I could show them both a good fight. But these are jokes. Seriously, it was a good and interesting fight. Joshua showed that he is stronger by many indicators. Two Olympic champions met. Povetkin had an interim champion's belt once. A worthy match up.

“I believe that after the fight against Povetkin, no one doubted the superiority and dominance of Joshua. In the fight against Wladimir, everyone understood that by some miracle Joshua was able to recover. Wladimir simply did not finish him. The fight could be won in one way or the other. Intrigue remained. The duel of Wladimir against Joshua was a battle of two equal athletes. In the last fight against Povetkin, the intrigue was only before the battle. During it, Joshua put everything in its place,” Klitschko said.
