Christian boxer Tyson Fury suspends Klitschko rematch

by Hannah Tooley

The British boxer has suffered an ankle injury.

Fury, 27, was due to face Ukraine's Klitschko in Manchester on July 9th with the WBA, WBO and IBO belts on the line.

Tyson Fury has now pulled out on doctor's orders.

In an Instagram video, he said: "I've got a little bit of bad news for you all.

"About 10 days ago I was running in the Lake District and went over on my ankle, spraining my ankle.

"I've been to the hospital and had X-rays, MRI scans and all that stuff. They've said it's not broken but it's badly sprained and to keep off it for six to seven weeks.

"I've had a second opinion a week later and had the same advice, so the fight will be postponed."
