Wladimir Klitschko to use option of rematch against Tyson Fury

Wladimir Klitschko confirms that he will use his option of a rematch against Tyson Fury after losing his heavyweight-title bout to the Mancunian.

Wladimir Klitschko has revealed that he will use the option of a rematch against Tyson Fury in 2016.

The 39-year-old was defeated on a unanimous points decision by the Mancunian to lose his WBA Super, WBO and IBF world heavyweight titles, ending his nine-year reign as champion.

Despite his loss, Klitschko is adamant that he wants another bout against Fury to regain his titles.

"I lost the battle but the fighter is still in me," Klitschko said after the match.

"We'll soon work out when and where the rematch will take place and let you know."

The match will either be held in Germany or the United Kingdom next year.
