Klitschko eyes Joshua title bout after Fury no-show
Print Edition
AFTER his world title rematch with Tyson Fury was again postponed, former champion Wladimir Klitschko is on the verge of sealing a new heavyweight bout against IBF belt-holder, Anthony Joshua.
“Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn and I have actually agreed things financially,” Klitschko manager Bernd Boente told SID, an AFP subsidiary. “It now depends a bit on the world organizations, but we would like to see the fight go ahead.” Joshua’s camp has already booked the Manchester Arena for November 26 with the British fighter’s International Boxing Federation (IBF) belt on the line. Last Friday, Fury pulled out of a planned bout against Klitschko for the second time. Fury’s camp says he is medically unfit to fight the Ukrainian on October 29 — which was also due to be held in Manchester — having pulled out of their July 9 bout with an ankle injury. The British fighter is reportedly seeking professional help. Boxing’s respective governing bodies could strip Fury of the WBA and WBO belts he won when he beat Klitschko on points in Duesseldorf last November. Joshua, 26, the super heavyweight champion at the 2012 London Olympic Games, has won all 17 of his fights by knockout since turning pro in July 2013. The 40-year-old Klitschko has won 64 of his 68 fights and his defeat to Fury was his first for a decade.
