Boxing: Ankle injury rules out Fury for Klitschko rematch

Boxing bigot Tyson Fury’s world heavyweight re-match with Wladimir Klitschko was postponed yesterday after the Briton suffered an ankle injury.

He was due to face Ukraine’s Klitschko in Manchester on July 9, with the WBA, WBO and IBO belts on the line but Fury has now pulled out on doctor’s orders.

In an Instagram video, he said: “I’ve got a little bit of bad news for you all. About 10 days ago I was running in the Lake District and went over on my ankle, spraining my ankle.
