The Ukrainian boxer currently rules the heavyweight division following his rematch success against Tyson Fury last December and his promoter Alex Krassyuk has suggested that a fight against his legendary compatriot is a possibility as Klitschko aims to become the oldest-ever heavyweight world champion.

However, the fight is dependent on the outcome of the world championship bout between Joseph Parker and Daniel Dubois later this month.

Krassyuk told talkSPORT: "We don't know what is next. Many things depend on Parker vs Dubois.

"But we also heard from the media that Wladimir Klitschko has a will to become the oldest heavyweight world champion ever.

"Beating the record of George Foreman. There is no decision taking, but it is a dream kind of plan.

"It is just a thought, it is also an opportunity and a possibility as we have heard from Turki Alalshikh.

"You can see how many scenarios are possible for Usyk next, but many things will depend on the result of Dubois vs Parker."

Klitschko hasn't fought since 2017 and has repeatedly ruled out taking on Usyk - previously claiming that he hoped the fighter won the rematch against Fury to keep him in retirement.

The former world champion said: "Boxing taught me a lot. Boxing made me a fighter - a fighter for my country, in the ring, for my family, for my city.

"A fighter, period. As a fighter, you're always ready. When the right time is coming, you're always ready.

"2025 is going to be an exciting year. I hope Oleksandr Usyk is going to keep me in retirement - [by] beating Tyson Fury once again.

"Who knows how many decades [it will take] to get another undisputed champion in the heavyweight division.

"Oleksandr is, inside and outside of the ring, a true champion and example."
