LONDON (AP) — Wladimir Klitschko’s defense of his WBO and IBF heavyweight titles against unbeaten British challenger Dereck Chisora has been rescheduled for April 30.
Klitschko was forced to pull out of the Dec. 11 bout due to an injury.
Chisora said Wednesday on promoter Frank Warren’s website that he was a “bit worried” that Klitschko “might try and fight an easier touch, but I think I’ve earned my opportunity.”
Chisora (14-0) added that Klitschko’s “time at the top is well and truly up.”
The website only said the fight will take place in Germany, with the original bout having been planned for Mannheim.
Klitschko has a 55-3 record with 49 knockouts. WBA heavyweight champion David Haye wants to fight him and his brother Vitali, the WBC titleholder, in a bid to unify the heavyweight division.
