Wladimir Klitschko has indicated that he has no plans to retire in the near future as he prepares to face Bryant Jennings on Saturday night.

The Ukrainian will make his 18th successive world title defence against the unbeaten challenger in New York, but the unified world champion has insisted that he is still motivated to continue his dominance in the heavyweight division.

The 39-year-old told reporters: "As long as I have motivation and health, I'll do it. I don't feel old, or bad, or slow.

"What could be cooler, or better, than to be the best man on the planet and beating up people for a living?"

Victory for Klitschko could set up a summer showdown with British heavyweight Tyson Fury, who is mandatory challenger for the WBO title.
