Tyson Fury (24-0, 18KOs) may finally get the man he wants in the fall. Fury, the mandatory challenger to IBO/WBO/WBA/IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko, is being lined up by the champion's team as the fall opponent.
Klitschko retained his titles last month with a strong twelve round decision victory over previously undefeated Bryant Jennings at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
The champion's adviser, Shelley Finkel, says Fury is the likely opponent for Wladimir in the fall and there is a very good possibility of the fight taking place in the challenger's backyard. Klitchsko has not fought in the UK since 2000, when he beat Monte Barrett at Millwall's New London Arena.
"There's a very good chance (of it taking place) in the UK," Finkel told The Telegraph. "I'm sure Wlad is going to fight Fury in September or October. There's a very good chance of Wembley Stadium or Manchester."
"Two weeks ago Wladimir fought at Madison Square Garden and nobody knows Bryant Jennings but it was the highest-rated HBO fight in three years. That gives you some idea. And Tyson is the big-mouth from England."
