Klitschko, who went unbeaten for 11 years before losing to
Tyson Fury in 2015, has 64 wins against four defeats and will be
hoping to seize Joshua's IBF heavyweight crown as well as the
vacant WBA and IBO titles also up for grabs.
"Hopefully, I have a couple of years left in me," the
41-year-old Ukrainian told British media.
"I was always saying health and motivation is very important. If
one of those things is missing then it doesn't make sense to
continue."
Klitschko will face Joshua on April 29 in front of a 90,000
strong crowd at Wembley, one of the largest crowds in British
boxing.
"In regards to pressure, it's just enjoyable. Anthony Joshua is
a great fighter, I'm taking on the best out there to be the
best. It's challenging... My next stage is bigger than my last,"
Klitschko said.
"The attention for the previous fight was less compared with
this. It is an upgrade, it is a winning upgrade. I love it."
