Sanders seeks glory ending

South Africa's Corrie Sanders has set his sights on beating both of the Klitschko brothers before he retires.

Sanders will fight Vitali for the WBC heavyweight title on 24 April and says he will quit the ring if he loses.

But if he wins, he wants a rematch with Wladimir, who he knocked out last March, as a swansong to his career.

Sanders said: "If I lose (to Vitali), I'm retiring, if I win I'll have one more fight, I'd love to beat Vitali and then beat his brother again."

And the 38-year-old Sanders is quietly confident he will achieve his aim.

When asked if he will beat Vitali, he replied "for sure," and added that "nobody gave me a chance against Wladimir".

However, the younger Klitschko brother was dispatched in the second round a year ago and Sanders claimed the WBO heavyweight crown.

Sanders gave up that belt in October, but capturing the vacant WBC crown would mark a glorious end to his career.
