WLADIMIR KLITSCHKO VS. TYSON FURY SET FOR OCTOBER 24

Hennessy Sports are delighted to announce that a deal has been struck for unbeaten WBA mandatory challenger Tyson Fury to challenge world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko on October 24 in Dusseldorf, Germany.

The deal, sorted just minutes before purse bids were set to be open, paves the way for Klitschko and Fury to meet in the most exciting heavyweight clash of the year, UK television broadcaster TBC.

Klitschko, 64-3 (53 KOs), has long been considered the number one heavyweight in the world and hasn't lost a fight for 11 years. Last time out in April he outboxed undefeated American Bryant Jennings over twelve rounds at Madison Square Garden in defence of his WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO world heavyweight titles.

Fury, meanwhile, figures to be Klitschko's toughest challenger for many years. Standing at six-foot-nine and 265-pounds, the Wilmslow man is both taller and heavier then the reigning champion and is also in a rich vein of form. His last two fights – stoppage wins over Dereck Chisora and Christian Hammer – have seen Fury, 24-0 (18 KOs), look more measured, controlled and dominant than ever before. He's ready not only to challenge Klitschko, but to also return home with his belts.
