Wladimir Klitschko vs Tyson Fury is off!

Fiddlesticks

This news will only add to Tyson’s fury.

Wladimir Klitschko’s world title defence against Tyson Fury has been postponed after he suffered a calf injury in training.

The two heavyweights met in London for a press conference on Wednesday, which was made memorable for Fury’s decision to dress as Gotham City’s caped crusader.

However, their October 24 bout in Dusseldorf will now be moved to a later date with the Ukrainian champion telling German newspaper Bild: ‘Of course I’m sorry, for my fans but also for my opponent Tyson Fury.’ 

The news will be particularly frustrating for Fury who had David Haye pull out of two scheduled bouts against him afer suffering successive injuries.
