Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) is very motivated for his upcoming fight with Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) and says having their rematch outside of Germany is an irrelevant factor.

They collided for the first time last November in Dusseldorf, and this time they are going to trade punches on July 9 at at the Manchester Arena in Manchester.

Fury handed Klitschko his first defeat in over ten years to capture the WBO, WBA, IBO heavyweight titles.

While this time Fury will have the home advantage, Klitschko embraces the fight taking place on hostile ground.

"That fact that we will fight in Manchester...it did not matter to me. If the venue is against me, that will motivate me even more to achieve success. The hotter the atmosphere - the better. I'm looking forward to the heat," said Klitschko.

Regarding the Manchester Arena, the venue can accommodate 21,000 fans. The vast majority will side with the new champion - who does not expect a tougher task in November.

At stake will be the  WBO, WBA and IBO belts. The IBF belt was stripped away from Fury for his failure to make a mandatory defense against Czar Glazkov. This past January, Glazkov was stopped in three rounds by Charles Martin at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. That reign did not last very long with Martin losing his title last Saturday to Fury's countryman, Anthony Joshua.
