Your support makes all the difference.Tyson Fury faces champion Wladimir Klitschko on Saturday night in Dusseldorf, Germany as he aims to capture his WBA, WBO and IBF world heavyweight titles.
The fight was originally scheduled for October 24, but Klitschko pulled out with a calf injury.
However, after recovering from the knock, the title bout will go ahead in the most hotly-anticipated heavyweight contest on these shores since Klitschko defeated David Haye.
Klitschko, 39, has not lost in 11 years, since his knock-out loss by Lamont Brewster in April 2004.
The challenger Fury, 27, remains unbeaten from his 24 fights, and this will be the charismatic British fighter's first crack at a world title.
WHAT CHANNEL IS IT ON?
Sky Box Office, £16.95.
WHAT TIME DOES IT START?
Sky will begin broadcasting the event from 7pm.
"You know what I believe? I'm getting the feeling that the German people want a new champion, they don't want Klitschko any more, they have had enough of him. The time is a new time for a new change, and that new change is this man!" Fury said after arriving in Germany.
WHAT TIME WILL THEY WALK TO THE RING?
Fury will begin his walk to the ring anytime between 9pm and 10pm, with the expectation being that he will emerge closer to 10pm before Klitschko follows.
