Wladimir Klitschko says fight date for Tyson Fury rematch not set

wladimir73

By Scott Gilfoid: Well, it looks like the injured Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) spoke too soon when he mentioned that the rematch with Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) would be taking place on October 29. Wladimir says the date hasn’t been set as of yet. They were supposed to fight two days ago on July 9, but Fury came down with an ankle injury.

Some would say the injury was a gift because it saved Fury from having to take the fight with Wladimir while still carrying round an abundance of jellyrolls around his midsection. Fury had no hope of losing that eight before the fight, and he clearly wouldn’t beaten Wladimir while carrying around 20 to 30 pounds of excess blubber.

With the rematch date still not set, Fury should have enough time to burn the remaining bit of fat off in time for the fight.

wlad888

By Scott Gilfoid: Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) will reportedly be getting his long awaited rematch against IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) on October 29 at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, UK. The rescheduled fight date still hasn’t been officially announced, but it likely will soon.

This is almost four full months away. Fury’s injured ankle should be more than healed by then. But more importantly, will plenty of time to burn off the excess blubber that he still has on his frame that he hadn’t been able to take off through diet and exercise. Fury was supposed to be fighting Wladimir on July 9, but he suffered an injury while training for the fight.

Fury vs. Klitschko = same result, says Froch

wladimir400

By Scott Gilfoid: The opinions about the rematch between IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) and Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) are pretty well divided evenly with some boxing fans thinking Fury will do just enough to scratch out another painfully boring 12 round decision again, while other fans seeing Wladimir poleaxing the British heavyweight within the first six rounds to get the win.

Former super middleweight champion Carl Froch thinks that Fury will beat the 40-year-old Wladimir a second time, mainly because the Ukrainian heavyweight won’t do what he needs to do by throwing more punches. That was obviously the sole reason why Wladimir lost to Fury last time – he simply didn’t throw enough punches.

Despite being the older fighter, Wladimir had the better hand speed, punching power and mobility compared to Fury. Wladimir had everything going for him in that fight, but he forgot that he needed to actually throw punches to win.

Tyson Fury was not ready for Klitschko rematch, says source

fury4

By Scott Gilfoid: IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury announced earlier on Friday that he won’t be able to defend his titles against Wladimir Klitschko in their scheduled fight on July 9th due to an ankle injury that he suffered. Fury says he’ll need another six to seven weeks for the injury. However, according to Dan Rafael of ESPN, sources say that Fury was not ready to take the fight with Wladimir due to his conditioning.

Fury had gained a great deal of weight before starting training camp for the Klitschko rematch. Taking that weight off has been job one for the 6’9” Fury. It’s unclear how far along he’s gotten at this point in trimming off the lard.

If Fury is still out of shape and overweight, he would have only three weeks to take the rest of the weight off.

Tyson Fury injured, fight with Klitschko postponed!

fury7

By Scott Gilfoid: Well, I knew it was too good to be true. After weeks of squawking about how he was going to beat 40-year-old Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) a second time in their rematch, IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) is saying he’s injured his ankle and will need to postpone their July 9 fight at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, UK.

Fury, 27, says the fight will still take place, but he’ll need between six to seven weeks for his injured ankle to heal before he can get back in the ring. It’s unclear whether Fury will need six or seven weeks before he can start training again or if that’s the amount of time he’ll need before he can fight Wladimir.

Having suffered a number of sprained ankles during my life during my athletic endeavors, I would guess that Fury will need six to seven weeks BEFORE he can start training again. As such, we could be looking at the Fury-Klitschko fight not taking place until November or December of this year depending on how well Fury’s angle heals.
