I Would Avenge My Defeat Says Klitschko


Tyson Fury’s world boxing heavyweight title rematch with Wladimir Klitschko will take place in Manchester on Oct. 29, the British fighter’s camp confirmed on Wednesday.
Fury ended Klitschko’s 11-year unbeaten run on points in Dusseldorf last November to claim the WBO, WBA and IBF belts.
But he pulled out of a July rematch with an ankle injury.
“I’m delighted that we can finally get the fight back on. We can now focus on giving the fans what they deserve,’’ Fury’s uncle and manager Peter said on Twitter.

“Finally the rematch is fixed,’’ the 40-year-old said.Ukrainian Klitschko, who had held the belts since 2006, also confirmed the fight, saying on Twitter that he would avenge his surprise defeat.

“I’ll remedy my mistake on Oct. 29 at Manchester Arena. See you there!’’
Fury was stripped of the IBF belt after he failed to face the mandatory challenger.
That belt is owned by fellow Briton Anthony Joshua.
