Fury-Klitschko rematch set for Oct. 29 in Manchester

September 8, 2016, Thursday |

Print Edition

THE heavyweight rematch between Tyson Fury and Wladimir Klitschko has been rescheduled for October 29 at the Manchester Arena.

Fury beat Klitschko in November to claim the WBA, WBO and IBF titles. A rematch was originally scheduled for July 9 but was postponed after Fury sustained an ankle injury. The new date was announced yesterday by both fighters’ management teams. Ukrainian Klitschko had held the belts since 2006. Fury is 25-0, with 18 knockouts. Klitschko is 64-4, with 54 KOs. Fury was stripped of the IBF belt after he failed to face the mandatory challenger. That belt is owned by fellow Briton Anthony Joshua.
