Wladimir Klitschko is set to defend his titles against undefeated WBC #2 contender Bryant Jennings at New York's Madison Square Garden on April 25, his management confirmed on Monday.
BoxingScene.com first broke the story late Saturday night when Jennings said a deal was done and the venue was switched from Brooklyn's Barclays Center. HBO will televise.
"We have reached an agreement, even if not all the contracts have yet been signed," Klitschko's manager Bernd Boente told SID.
Klitschko is viewed as the undisputed world heavyweight champion as he holds the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO belts, but the title bout had been drawn into question after Jennings' new promoter, Roc Nation Sports, had produced a list of new demands.
"We have accommodated a few small things, but we have stuck to those which are important to us," explained Boente.
The 30-year-old Jennings has an unblemished record of 19 wins with 10 knockouts.
