Fury vs. Klitschko

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.

By Scott Gilfoid: Former world champion Wladimir Klitschko says he doesn’t care about the titles when it comes to his rematch with Tyson Fury. Wladimir’s focus is on beating Fury and avenging his loss from last November.

The Fury-Klitschko 2 rematch was supposed to be taking place on July 9 next month at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, UK. However, Fury suffered an ankle injury recently, and the injury is expected to keep him out of the ring for the next four months until the end of October if then.

By Scott Gilfoid: Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) was disappointed on Friday with the news of IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) pulling out of their July 9 fight due to an ankle injury. The two fighters were supposed to be fighting each other at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, UK.

The fight will likely be postponed until October under the best of circumstances. Wladimir, 40, says that he’ll still be beating Fury. It just means he’ll have to wait a little bit longer before he picks up the belts from the 27-year-old British fighter.

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.

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.
