Will Vitali retire?

    The most important question in boxing right now. I hope not. Although his legacy of being a dominant fighter is already set in stone, I wouldn't mind Vitali beating down a couple of the next big British hopes (Fury, Haye) before retiring and ending his legendary career.

    No. Vitali will continue to fight forever. And ever. Amen. But he'll still wake up sweating in the middle of the night screaming: "TKO6!"

    I think it will be one more fight before calling it a day.. I could imagine that he would like to retire on a pay day against Haye..

    Hope he decides soon so Wlad can be undisputed.

    No he will never retire, an official lifetime status of a champion in recess is the most probable outcome

    I hope he has at least 2 or 3 fights before he quits against haye,fury and price possibly . Haye because its a fight we all want and fury or price or even both because if he were to beat one or both of them and they went on to be champs themselves it would only make his stock rise in the years following his retirement

    He may not retire but he won't fight Haye

    I'd love to see him keep going but at his age his time must be coming very soon.

    I think he will.

    Politics is going very well, and he no longer cares about Haye.

    I hope so, he holds that WBC belt hostage, i can't wait for the Klitschko brothers to retire, the heavyweight division will be a lot better when it is competitive, we will start to see the fights we want as-well because ATM none of the top contenders are willing to fight they are holding out for a belt.

    Bad news for the division but yes, he will most likely retire.
