Unbeaten British boxer Tyson Fury will challenge WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko in Dusseldorf in October.

The 26-year-old Fury, whose last bouts saw him stop Dereck Chisora and Christian Hammer, holds a 24-0 record while Ukrainian fighter Klitschko has not lost a fight for 11 years.

Fury's promoters Hennessy Sports announced the October 24 clash through a statement on their official website with the Wilmslow man tweeting: "VivaDeutschland, I'm coming to rock your country in October be there of miss the best fight in heavyweight history, #letsgetthispartystarted"
