Sky Secures Fury Vs Klitschko Fight

Sky has secured the rights to Tyson Fury’s next world heavyweight boxing title fight with Wladimir Klitschko on 24th October.

As part of the deal, Sky will broadcast the British boxer’s challenge for Klitschko’s unified heavyweight crown through its pay-per-view platform Sky Sports Box Office.

The night of live world championship boxing also includes IBF world welterweight champion Kell Brook.

Brook tops the bill at Sheffield’s Motorpoint Arena, making the third defence of his title against Argentinian Diego Chaves, before focus turns to the Esprit Arena in Düsseldorf, Germany.

Fury’s past three bouts have been shown on BoxNation, which is operated by boxing promoter Frank Warren, but reportedly pulled out of an intended £12m (€16.9m/$18.6m) bid for the bout last month, according to media reports.
