Ukrainian boxer Vitali Klitschko, who says he would have beaten Lennox Lewis in last month's world heavyweight title fight had it not been stopped, has pledged to resume training in two months for a rematch.
Lewis said that he was ready for a rematch, tentatively set for December 6, and Klitschkosaid he could start training by September.
"I will just stay and relax in Ukraine until September, then I will go wherever I have to, depending on where the rematch will take place. I always train in the same city as I fight," Klitschko said.
Lewis was awarded a TKO after the ring doctor stopped last month's fight because of a deep gash above Klitschko's left eye, which needed more than 50 stitches.
