Fury and Klitschko have already agreed rematch for 2016

Both Tyson Fury and Wladimir Klitschko have reached a gentleman's agreement over a second fight.

Fury ended the Ukranian's 11-year, 22-fight unbeaten streak with a decision victory in Dusseldorf on Saturday night. According to both fighters, however, they will meet in the ring again in 2016. After the fight, Klitschko claimed that there would definitely be a rematch next year, although nothing has been made official yet.

“There will be a rematch. It is still early and I have to process things but there will definitely be a rematch.”

Fury also pretty much said a rematch was on the cards following his win.

“I’m a fighter, so I will take on all challengers. I want to be a great champion and I’d like to do it all again. Who knows what the rematch holds? One thing I can say about it is that it’s going to be explosive.”

The undefeated English heavyweight paid tribute to Klitschko after the bout, sounding like he was relishing the opportunity to step back inside the ring to face him a second time.

“If I could be half as good a champion as Wladimir Klitschko, I would be very, very happy. “He put up a really good fight. I found him quite awkward to land clean on, as he did me. He landed some great punches but it just wasn’t his night."

Fury added that he intends to take some time off for Christmas before preparing for his first defence as world champion.
