Former world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko is mulling over an eight-figure offer from DAZN to end his retirement.
Under the terms of the deal, Klitschko would fight three times before taking over a position as DAZN Ambassador.
Klitschko would then join the likes of Jose Mourinho, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar Jr. in affiliating himself long-term with the streaming service.
The Ukrainian could pocket a guaranteed $40m, with a percentage of revenue and a stake in DAZN reported to be in the shake-up.
A rematch with Joshua, who also fights on DAZN, will be included in the package.
Firstly, Klitschko would fight in his native Germany, before facing AJ once again. A third clash is dependent on the veteran winning the initial two encounters.
KLITSCHKO v FURY II
That final offering of the deal is being targetted as a second meeting with Tyson Fury, according to Ukrainian media. Another return collision, which this time would be a co-operative match-up alongside ESPN and Top Rank.

For that revenge bout to come to fruition at all, it’s a very, very long shot.
Klitschko is approaching his 43rd birthday this month and is seemingly being enticed purely by cash.
A two-year spell out of the ring is no good at this stage of Klitschko’s life, especially when being pitted against the two men who put him in retirement.
