Tyson Fury, Wladimir Klitschko

The undefeated linear WBO, WBA Super, IBO and Ring Magazine World Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury will now face legendary former World Champion Wladimir Klitschko at Manchester Arena on Saturday 29th October.

Tickets purchased for the original Saturday 9 July fight remain valid for the new date.

The giants of boxing collide again in the biggest and fiercest heavyweight rematch in recent memory at the home of UK boxing with Fury putting his titles on the line against the man he took them from on an unforgettable night in Germany last November to dethrone Klitschko with a stunning performance that shook the boxing world to the core.

Now Klitschko is out for revenge and is hell bent on regaining what he believes is rightfully his with the scene now set for a brutal showdown at the iconic Manchester Arena that has hosted some of the greatest fight nights in British boxing history.

Peter Fury, uncle and trainer of Tyson Fury, said: 'I’m delighted that we can finally get the fight back on and in Manchester on October 29th. After hard discussions we can now focus on giving the fans what they deserve; another barnburner of a fight. Team Fury will ensure Tyson is in the shape of his life to successfully retain his World Titles.'
