The heavyweight championship rematch between Tyson Fury and Wladimir Klitschko has once again been called off as doctors have deemed the champion Fury is "medically unfit" to fight.

The rematch was originally supposed to take place over the summer on July 9 but was pushed back to Oct. 29 in Manchester, England after Fury suffered an ankle injury in training. Fury's camp did not specify what medical issue he is facing in their statement released on Friday.
