July 9th is clearly a day that will be dominated by UFC 200, but it was also due to feature a big rematch in boxing's heavyweight division. Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) vs. Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) II was set to headline on HBO from the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England, but fans will have to wait a little bit longer.
Earlier this week, Fury announced his withdrawal from the bout, having suffered an ankle injury while running. He's expected to be held out of training for at least 6 weeks. While nothing is broke, it is badly bruised and sprained, and here's a picture for you to see it.
Fury defeated Klitschko by unanimous decision last November, giving Wladimir his first defeat in over a decade. The fight itself was awful, but it did spell the surprise end to Klitschko's dominance atop the heavyweight division, and it happened in front of a packed stadium in Dusseldorf, Germany.
A rescheduled date for this still hugely important clash will be announced soon. The current dates being looked at are October 8th and October 29th.
