Wladimir Klitschko's postponed heavyweight title defence against Tyson Fury has been rescheduled for November 28 at the same Duesseldorf venue.

The Ukrainian had been scheduled to defend his IBF, WBO and WBA belts against the British fighter on October 24, but the bout was called off after Klitschko tore a tendon in his left calf in training.

Klitschko said in a statement on Friday that that "injury will heal quickly enough for me to enter the ring on November 28".

Fury, unbeaten with 18 knockouts in 24 wins, is bidding to become the first fighter to defeat Klitschko since Lamon Brewster in April 2004.
