After surrendering his WBA/WBO/IBF titles to Tyson Fury last Saturday night in Dusseldorf, Wladimir Klitschko has confirmed he will indeed be exercising the rematch clause in the contract and will square off with Fury again next year.
Speaking in a short clip released via his Instagram account, Wladimir addresses his fans and Fury in what he calls a ‘pre-Christmas gift,’ ending online speculation that he might possibly retire following the defeat at the hands of the Brit – a defeat that ended his 11 1/2 year undefeated streak and 9 1/2 year championship reign.
