Wladimir Klitschko has admitted that Tyson Fury will be one of the "hardest challenges" of his career.

The fight for Klitschko's WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight titles takes place in Dusseldorf on 28 Novemeber.

Fury, 27, remains unbeaten from his 24 contests. Klitschko has three losses on his record (64-3), although he has not tasted defeat since 2004, when he was knocked out by Lamon Brewster.

"I think this will be one of the hardest fights of my career," he told Boxing Scene.

"This time the opponent will be taller, heavier, with very long arms, and he is also younger and has great ambitions.

"This guy really wants to prove himself in the ring and confirm what he keeps telling everyone, that he's the best in the world.

"He will be difficult opponent to adjust to, because of his style of fighting and physical conditions. Fans will certainly not be bored."
