    I can see him fight for another 4-5 years. The guy is in supreme physical shape. If his older brother can last until 40 with his injuries, then Wlad can too.

    When you're coasting through everybody and no genuine standouts are around, while raking in the dough, I'm not sure there's any motivation for him to retire anytime soon. He's healthy, he's not taking a lot of punches...:conf ...July 08, 2020.

    yeah, but i think he is a guy who lives with motivation? his motivation was to become world champion, was there done that, to be undispted, was there done that, to be world champion at the same time with his brother, was there done that, to beat david haye, was there done that and his last motivation is to get all the titles alone after vitali is gone. because if you look at the competition there is nothing on the line for the next 5 years who comes close to being a challenge for wlad. so i think he will get bored pretty fast and retire

    He doesnt seem to have any kind of injuries or wear..
    If he doesnt pick up some nasty injurie then i could see him fighting for 4-7 more years..

    Even boxers past prime, shot to **** are having difficulties to retire. I don't think that retirement can replace the feeling of fighting and winning in front of 50k crowd.

    And there are challenges for him. Arreola, Solis, Helenius and Povetkin might be tougher ones than Haye was.

    The division has essentially been cleaned out, the only fighter out there is his brother and we all know that isn't going to happen. Wlad could retire now with his head held high and arguably be top 10 ATG Heavyweight material, if he fights on and continues to dominate for another 5 years he's obviously top 10 ATG Heavyweight.
