Vitali can retire whenever he wants to, he's had a long career amateur boxing, kickboxing, and boxing. He's won titles, defended titles, there are no losses he can avenege, there's not much left for him to achieve in the sport. He wants to pursue politics in a country that is pretty damned dangerous....more power to him.

David Haye had his chances....several of them. David Haye is younger, fresher, and yet he makes the choice to NOT take advantage of that by becoming "David Haye Reality TV star" as opposed to fighting his way back to a title shot.


Also I find it amusing that a Mike Tyson fan mocks Vitali Klitschko for "quitting" when he had a torn rotator cuff....Mike Tyson never "quit" did he? Not in the rematch vs Holyfield, not vs Danny Williams, not vs McBride....that Mike Tyson that fought Danny Williams was 38 years old (and about 39 when he lost to McBride). Vitali is the WBC Champion and is 41 years old...he can retire as he sees fit, Hell Tyson could have retired when he wanted to because he accomplished so much, but it's beside the point. The point is show some fucking respect for a Champion who has accomplished as much as Vitali has.
