Sanders mulls over retirement Klitschko stops Sanders

Port Elizabeth - Vitali Klitschko could reign as world heavyweight boxing champion for some time to come, says South Africa's Corrie Sanders.

Sanders was stopped by Klitschko in the eighth round of their WBC title fight in Los Angeles at the weekend.

"I would like to fight him again, but I've got to say that he's a difficult customer.

"He uses his size and reach well and is clever. He's also very strong and packs quite a punch, although he doesn't throw his combinations well.

"Chances are slim that I'll box again, but if I do, I'd like to come up against Vitali, " said Sanders on Wednesday.

"Klitschko can improve, since he can be taught to throw better combinations and punch harder."

He indicated that only a big payday would lure him back to the ring, and that - in such an event - he would also consider clashing with Wladimir Klitschko or Mike Tyson.

Sanders said Chris Byrd would have an outside chance of beating Vitali Klitschko because of his (Byrd's) difficult style, but that he probably did not punch hard enough.

Another contender was James Toney, albeit that the American was on the small side.
