Wembley Wanted For Fury v Klitschko Rematch
Right after the fight, Klitschko declared his intent to exercise his rematch clause with Fury.
Fury outpointed “Dr. Steelhammer” during their fight in Dusseldorf, Germany, garnering a unanimous decision tally from all three judges (115-112, 115-112, 116-111).
Fury was the mandatory challenger to the WBO/WBA portions of Klitschko’s titles and also picked up the IBF strap with his stunning upset win over Wladimir, meaning the rematch clause with Klitschko is independent of that portion of the championship. “I didn’t have this confidence for nothing”, Fury said in his interview with BBC 5 Live (via Boxingscene).
And the Olympic champion admits the public’s appetite for a bout with Fury could make the fight happen sooner rather than later.

Fury took Klitschko’s WBA, IBF, and WBO heavyweight belts, as well as the minor IBO title.
“I am 27 and I have got a young family, so I want to spend as much time with the kids as I can”.
The report adds that the figures represent the 10th-best ratings for a fight on HBO in 2015 and that, “combined with the exclusive rebroadcast in prime time, Fury-Klitschko drew 1.714 million viewers”. But with Glazkov, he’s a fighter with controversial wins over Steve Cunningham and Derric Rossy and a controversial draw against Malik Scott.
“I want to be a great champion and I’d like to do it again”.
Tyson Fury continued, “Wladimir had to take his high heels off as well!”
He said: “I’ve got to fight someone in January and after that I would love to have a unification bout – and guess what?”
“We are looking, me and [Fury’s promoter] Mick Hennessy, to put the fight on in the United Kingdom, if we can”.
“The sweet moment is, I’m kind of happy Tyson beat him because if I would have beat Wladimir, they would have said he’s past his prime and he’s old …” One of them was Madison Square Garden, I done that one.
