Fury ended Klitschko's 11-year unbeaten run on points in
Dusseldorf last November to claim the WBO, WBA and IBF belts but
pulled out of a July rematch with an ankle injury.
"I'm delighted that we can finally get the fight back on. We can
now focus on giving the fans what they deserve," Fury's uncle
and manager Peter said on Twitter.
Ukrainian Klitschko, who had held the belts since 2006, also
confirmed the fight, saying on Twitter that he would avenge his
surprise defeat.
"Finally the rematch is fixed," the 40-year-old said.
"I'll remedy my mistake on Oct. 29 at Manchester Arena. See you
there!"
Fury was stripped of the IBF belt after he failed to face the
mandatory challenger.
That belt is owned by fellow Britain Anthony Joshua.
