Klitschko said in a statement on his website
(www.klitschko.com) on Friday that the bout would take place in
Duesseldorf at the end of November, five weeks after the fight
was originally scheduled.
"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.
