Klitschko signs five fight extension with RTL

World Heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko signed a 5 fight extension with German television network according to Dan Rafael of espn.com.

The first fight under the new deal starts with his October 24 defense with Tyson Fury.

“My previous contract expired after [the] Jennings fight, so now I have another five-fight deal with RTL. I never thought about the exact time of my retirement, but for some reason people are trying to retire me sooner than later,” Klitschko told ESPN.com.

“I don’t feel my age [and am not] tired of boxing,” he said. “I really mean it.”
