I hope he does and I'd love to see Vitali smack his dome. Klitschko is a far superior pugilist.

I really thought Lennox had more brains to do this. What a shame that one of Britain's greatest ever fighters is going to end his career this way.

Lennox should sit back, enjoy retirement and do something else. If he gets in the ring with Klistchko one more time, I can see Lennox being stopped this time round.

yeah but 20 million aint a bad payoff for taking a kicking is it? Agree Klistchko will probably win but it could be close if he prepares properly and has his head in the right place.

rubbish lennox has loads left in the tank i for one will be booking my ticket again where ever he fights. He will use his jab to obscure klitsco's view and knock him out this time.

Looks like he's denying the reports. Hope he doesnt come back, I can see Klitchko finishing him if he did.

he wont return!

hes got enough money in the kitty to last a millennium, so i doubt thats the temptation. any talk of him making a big money comeback is media speculation.

he'll stay retired because he wants his name to go down in history as one of the few big-name Boxers that retired at the very top.

Mohammad 'GoAT' Ali, Joe 'The Brown Bomber' Louis, 'Sugar' Ray Robinson, Jack Dempsey, Evander Holyfield, 'Iron' Mike Tyson, 'Smokin' Joe Frazier, Jack Sharkey, Sonny Liston and a few other big names all quit after they had a few fights too many.

Rocky Marciano and 'Big' George Foreman are the only 2 big names that come to mind that quit when they were at the top.
