Boxing-Klitschko postpones next month’s Fury fight due to injury (Reuters)
Boxing heavyweight champion Vladimir Klitschko has postponed his title fight next month against Briton Tyson Fury following a tendon injury in training, he said on Friday. The 39-year-old Klitschko’s WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO crowns were to be on the line when the pair met in the German city of Duesseldorf on Oct. 24 but the Ukrainian sought medical treatment on Thursday after tearing a tendon in his calf. Klitschko has not lost for 11 years and has a record of 64 wins and three defeats, while the 26-year-old Fury is undefeated at 24-0.
