LONDON (AP) -- The heavyweight rematch between Tyson Fury and Wladimir Klitschko has been rescheduled for Oct. 29 at the Manchester Arena.

Fury beat Klitschko in November to claim the WBA, WBO and IBF titles.

A rematch was originally scheduled for July 9 but was postponed after Fury sustained an ankle injury.

The new date was announced Wednesday by both fighters' management teams.

Fury is 25-0, with 18 knockouts. Klitschko is 64-4, with 54 KOs.
