“My injury will heal quickly enough for me to enter the ring on Nov. 28,” said the Ukrainian who postponed the fight last week after tearing a calf tendon in training.

“I will promptly continue my training camp preparations and, of course, I am very happy to still be fighting this year especially for my fans who have already bought their tickets.”

The 39-year-old Klitschko’s WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO crowns will be on the line when the pair finally get into the ring.

Klitschko has not lost for 11 years and has a record of 64 wins and three defeats while the 26-year-old Fury is unbeaten at 24-0. The Klitschko-Fury fight is a mouthwatering prospect for boxing fans everwhere.
