Don’t expect to see a second fight between Wladimir Klitscho and Bryant Jennings anytime soon. The heavyweight champ, who scored a unanimous decision over the previously unbeaten Jennings on Saturday at Madison Square Garden in New York City, ruled out a rematch while speaking at the post-fight press conference.

“I don’t think there’s chance for rematch because this fight was not really competitive enough. There was no drama,” Klitschko said. “I don’t think that rematch will be happening.”

The other reason is that Klitschko, who holds three world titles, is due to make defenses against his mandatory challengers. He took out the challenger for his International Boxing Federation belt, Kubrat Pulev, last November. The World Boxing Organization has mandated that Klitschko next face its top-rated heavyweight, Tyson Fury. Klitschko also is the World Boxing Association’s “super” titleholder.

Klitschko wants a bout with World Boxing Council titleholder Deontay Wilder, which likely won’t come any sooner than 2016.

Klitschko has now won 22 in a row, defending one of his world titles successfully 18 times. He became the new lineal heavyweight champion in the eyes of many with his 2009 victory over Ruslan Chagaev. He’s won 11 more times since then and is 64-3 with 53 KOs.
