The heavyweight championship rematch between Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) and Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) originally scheduled for July 9 at the Manchester Arena will be postponed to a later date.

Fury posted to Instagram on Friday morning with a message to his fans, claiming that he suffered a sprained ankle on a training run 10 days ago and will be sidelined for six to seven weeks.

"Hey, guys, I've got a little bit of bad news for you all," said Fury.
