World heavyweight boxing champion Lennox Lewis has confirmed he will not fight again this year but he remains undecided on whether to retire from the sport.
Lewis retained his WBC title in June with a sixth-round win over Vitali Klitschko after the Ukrainian suffered a serious cut.
Lewis recently pulled out of negotiations for a proposed rematch in November and says he will definitely be out of action for the rest of the year.
The 37-year-old said: "I haven't decided if I will retire yet. Nothing is final. But, I do know that I am not going to fight this year.
"Maybe next year. If I decide to fight, it won't be a problem for me to get in shape. It will take me less than three months to get ready.
He added: "There's a lot of money involved in a rematch with Vitali (Klitschko) and a rematch with him is definitely something that I would consider."
