The heavyweight title bout between Wladimir Klitschko and Tyson Fury has been postponed due to an injury suffered by the Ukrainan fighter.
He suffered a calf injury and he requested to move the fight originally scheduled October 24.
According to the Daily Star UK, they are now targeting November 28 as the new schedule, but this has yet to be confirmed.
Mick Hennessy, Fury's manager, said: "It will be at the same arena and we are hoping to have it happen late in November or early December. Wladimir is being seen by a specialist who treats the German national football team and they are going to work on it over the next few days."
He also added: "We have got to match up what dates are good for TV - but the stadium is okay."
Nevertheless, the British fighter is upset, and claims that the Ukrainian champion is "running scared" according to the The Mirror.
Fury recounted that Klitschko avoided sparring with him before."I've got a couple of things over him: He wouldn't spar with me when I went to the camp and I beat him in a mental toughness competition in the sauna," Fury narrated.
"I had my headguard and gloves on and was stood at the side of the ring but he refused to spar me because Emanuel Steward told him I was going to be a future champion and he didn't want to get shown up in front of everybody. Then we had to see who would stay in the sauna the longest and it was game on. I stayed about half an hour and almost died in there."
Obviously, Fury has a very competitive nature and will go through lengths to intimidate his opponent. He dressed up as Batman in the press conference, and he proudly declared to the Daily Star:
"I think it did get under his skin because the show wasn't about him. Wladimir was left out and I took it away from him. It was the Tyson Fury show and everybody saw that. He didn't know what was going on. He couldn't control it or me."
