A deal was reached just before the purse bids were about to start.

Tyson Fury to face Wladimir Klitschko in Dusseldorf

Pity it wasn't in London, but good fight if it happens.

Although Fury has improved (he couldn't have got any worse) Klitschko KO 6. It will be similar to the Pulev fight.

Unless Wlad gets old overnight, his brother lasted longer albeit with injuries, I can't see anyone beating Wlad for a while.

Hryunov will protest:

I read on a Russian site that he was going to stage the fight in Chechnya which is a really strange place for a fight of that level.

I doubt that Wlad would fight in Chechnya or even in Russia in general, so it looks like Hryunov is trying to get him stripped.

No, it would have been in London.

Hryunov doesn't have that kind of money. He was acting on behalf of his new business partner, allegedly.

Not sure if it can be trusted but

says

The Wladimir Klitschko has avoided conducting their own battle in the capital of Chechnya, agreeing on a different location of the event with the British heavyweight Tyson fury.

I don`t think Tyson can win,he goes out all out and finds the klitschko right hand,he tries to outbox him,he gets beat by a wide dec,there is nothing in the fury armoury to trouble wlad

This will be Wlad's toughest defense in my opinion.
He will not be able to lean down on his opponent as usual.He will have a tougher time trying to clinch.
Fury's speed is under rated by most on this board.
I still think Wlad will win but it will not be a walk in the park.

They should call this one Cuddlefest 2015. It will probably another Kitschko fight on mid day here in America with 30 people tuning in. There will be about 10 punches thrown per round and more clinches than landed punches. We've all eaten at this restaurant. Tough for me to get excited about any Klitschko fight. I'm also not going to buy into the Fury being the guy to dethrone him because we've been here before and his name was David Haye and he had a bad toe. These Eurotrashcans love to yap and do nothing but cuddle in the ring. Not going to fall for it this time. I'll let you guys watch it and tell me I was right.

At least Fury can't use David Haye's bad toe excuse for not showing up for the fight. Fury has to have a good training camp and make it to the fight.

I agree on the toughest defense part, but I'm sure Wlad won't try to clinch. Wlad didn't try to clinch at all against Wach and against Pulev he did some holding only after Pulev hurt him in the beginning of the fight. Wlad isn't holding because he is "scared to get hit" as his haters say, he is leaning down on the smaller opponents to make them tire. Look, Wlad didn't even try to hold Wach after Wach hurt him in the 5th round while the fight with feather-fisted old cruiser Mormeck was filled with the clinches. If Wlad was so "scared" to get hit by Mormek, why he wasn't scared to get hit by much harder puncher in Wach, who already showed he can hurt him? It's simple: clinching doesn't work against big guys like Wach, Pulev, Austin, Thompson etc, who have the same or bigger weight than Wlad himself, and Wlad's bouts against tall opponents always look more entertaining.

Spot on mate.

That's not to say Fury wont resort to the odd sneaky cuddle once he eats a right hand or 2.

But this should hopefully be a more interesting and entertaining spectacle than some of Wlads fights.

For me Fury is not quite as good an opponent as Povetkin or Pulev, but his physical attributes add an extra element and will give Wlad a lot more to think about

David Haye, the 2 weight world champion is a "Euro trash can"? OK mate.

Can't wait to see the loudmouth getting knocked out. Finally!

Agree.

These comments are sort of reminiscent of Lewis vs Vitaly with loads of people saying that it wouldn't be a good fight I for one knew better though. Kudos to Wlad for taking this fight and proving that hes a real champion not just someone that ducks his way into the historybooks. Fury isnt neccesarily much better than Wlad but hes much bigger and younger, has better stamina and a better chin.

Truly awful analysis. Only thing that can beat Klitschko in this fight is Father Time. No comparison to Lewis v Vitali, as Lewis didn't train and probably lost the hunger. I can't see Wlad not being in shape.

Fury will pull out.

One pull out in his entire career.
You all are pathetic with that excuse.The guy has less pull outs than Wlad.

As much as I can't stand Fury's mouth, I think he is a live opponent in this fight, due to his size, heart, and stamina. I would be an idiot to pick him to win, but do think it will be a fight that is not quite as one sided as people think. Both use their size as an advantage, and it will be interesting how it plays out. Imo, Wlad's jab will be the key to victory via close UD 12.

Wlad will ko Fury inside 5. David Gaye with a bad toe would ko Fury.

Shocked that some people aren't excited by this fight.
Be great to see how Wlad copes with someone as big as Fury at this stage of his career.
Also Wlad likes to hold and hit and always gets away with this tactic in Germany. Fury also holds and hits and has the potential to rough Wlad up.
Also Wlad looked to have slowed down slightly in the Jennings fight.
Fury had improved massively over the past 12 months.
It's the typical Great fighter on the decline against a good fighter on the rise.
I expect a fight fought on the inside with a lot of holding. But with Tyson fighting dirty in clinches it will be a close intriguing fight and I see Wlad getting a unanimous but close decision.
